You will learn to meet the educational needs of adolescents in a dynamic world. This includes the interrelationship between academic content, pedagogical application, continued learning, and the moral and political considerations of working with adolescents.
What is Unique About Our Adolescence Education Combined Program?
- Professional certification: You will be eligible for initial certification immediately upon graduation. After three years of teaching, you will be eligible for professional certification.
- Undergraduate degree: Earn a professional degree in biology, chemistry, earth science, English, history, mathematics, physics, or Spanish (in case you decide not to teach).
- Dual advisors: Benefit from two academic advisors — one in the adolescence education department and one in your liberal arts concentration.
- Peace of mind: Once employed as a New York state teacher, you don’t have to worry about completing a master’s degree at night or during the summers within five years.
- Save money: Save money by paying undergraduate tuition rates for the first 12 graduate credits.
- Qualifications: Be considered a much more qualified candidate for a teaching position than a person with a four year degree. Graduates will have a professional degree with extensive education courses at the graduate level.
