Admission is based on several components of the application for the degree program.
For applicants holding other certificates, an individual program of prerequisites will be developed in consultation with faculty and in congruence with New York State certification regulations at any time. This program would normally take one and one-half to two years or more depending upon satisfaction of prerequisite course work. Upon admission to the M.S. T. degree program, students are required to read the Student Teaching Handbook within 30 days of acceptance. Copies of the Handbook are on reserve in the Crumb Library and in the library on the Jefferson Community College campus in Watertown. Students may also purchase one from the SUNY Potsdam Bookstore.
