University of Southern California (USC) is set to become, “the country’s largest not-for-profit teacher prep program by 2013,” according to The Atlantic. All due to their online Masters of Arts in Teaching program – MAT@USC. USC now graduates 1500 teachers, many of whom attend classes via video chat. According to Margo Pensavalle, Professor of Clinical Education at the Rossier School of Education at USC, and a member of the faculty for the MAT@USC program, insists that the program is really top notch. “We didn’t want to be like DeVry – this is USC and we wanted to do a really good job… The syllabi for the courses are identical and the faculty are identical [to the on-campus courses],” she said.
