  <abstract>&lt;p&gt;This 36-hour Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) degree with a community college teaching concentration (MAIS-CCT) combines 12 credit hours of college teaching courses (including coursework required for the Certificate in College Teaching), with 24 credit hours of work in one of the following knowledge areas: communication, English, information systems, mathematics, Spanish, or Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). This master's degree qualifies students to teach entry-level courses in these growing fields at the two-year college level. In addition, the MAIS-CCT program is an appropriate graduate degree for some faculty currently teaching in community college.&lt;/p&gt;</abstract>
