The secondary education program is designed for two groups of candidates. The first group are those students who have an undergraduate liberal arts degree in English, Spanish, mathematics, biology, chemistry, history, or extensive preparation in one of these areas along with a baccalaureate degree in another area. These students will complete the master's degree which, with the appropriate New York state tests and two years of teaching experience, will lead to permanent certification. Other students may already have completed a master's degree in a liberal arts area. These students will complete the advanced certificate program.
All matriculated students complete a signed program schedule.
Any change in stated coursework must receive written approval of the assigned faculty advisor. Interview with an appropriate advisor after all materials have been submitted. Changes in certification requirements are anticipated from New York State and the program may be modified accordingly. Secondary Education Degree Program Summary Follow links to course descriptions.
