Alternative Licensure Only - LICA
The alternative licensure options at Christian Brothers University are not available to all candidates for the MAT. The individual applicant for an alternative licensure program, as required by the State of Tennessee, is jointly selected for admission into the program simultaneous with an offer of employment as a teacher of record into a school district, system, or school with which Christian Brothers University has established a particular partnership. The program for alternative licensure differs from the regular MAT in that supervised field experience occurs over the whole of the program, rather than through a culminating experience. Alternative licensure candidates take a series of supervised, practical courses in conjunction with their status in the program. Each course holds zero credits, however a $650 fee is attached to each course. Alternative licensure candidates may pursue a MAT degree or Licensure-Only (see below). *If choosing Licensure-Only the alternative licensure candidate must follow the same practicum described above.
