The MAT is not a degree that every high-powered university offers;
many stick to the Master of Arts in Education (MAEd) or the
Masters in Education (M.Ed.) which are the more traditional
degrees, training teachers in some cases but also training school
administrators and education scholars. The MAT is designed to
provide graduate level education to people who love to teach or
who want to teach. These universities are have the top education
programs in the nation that include the MAT as an option for
education students.

There is some helpful information on making that decision on this
