Adolescent Education Graduate Programs
The master's degree in Adolescent Education provides expertise in the development of secondary students, grades 7-12, in a specific content area. We offer programs for potential students who would like to pursue a master’s degree and Initial New York State Certification or Professional NYS Certification.
The Initial Certificate is the entry-level New York State teaching certificate issued to anyone who completes a NYS teacher preparation program, like our program, or equivalent coursework and experience. The Initial Certificate is valid for five years.
Professional Certificate is an advanced New York State certificate issued to teachers who already possess a master’s degree, have three years of teaching experience, and complete 175 hours of professional development every five years.
