The Saint Rose Master of Science in Adolescence Education and Advanced Certificate in Adolescence Education are designed for individuals who want to merge their passion for biology, English, mathematics, or social studies with teaching adolescents.
Small classes, caring and dedicated professors, and rigorous preparation for classroom teaching are hallmarks of the Adolescence Education program at The College of Saint Rose.
Students complete classroom and field experiences that will lead to initial and professional certification for 7th-12th grade in their content area in New York State. An optional extension will allow students to teach their content area in 5th and 6th grades.
The 42 credits master’s degree program is for applicants who have a bachelor’s degree in the content area and are seeking a master’s degree in education.
The 31 credits Advanced Certificate program is for applicants who already have a master’s degree and are looking for the education classes to become a certified teacher.
