OVERVIEW: The Mississippi Teacher Corps (MTC) is a two-year program that trains non-education majors to teach in high-poverty public schools in Mississippi while working on a master’s degree at the University of Mississippi. Benefits include placement in a school with full salary and benefits, full scholarship for graduate school (tuition and books), and a notebook computer. Each year, MTC accepts between 25-35 candidates. Due to the size of the program, MTC can offer individualized support as participants move through each stage of the training and coursework.
