The OSU-Cascades MAT Early Start program allows admitted students to start taking classes before the student teaching year begins in summer. This is a great opportunity for students who want to get started right away, those who haven't been in school for a while and want to take one or two classes early to ease into the program, or those who want to split up tuition over a few more terms! Early Start students complete the program in June at the end of their student teaching year (2nd year), but have a lighter course load throughout.
