Who should apply to this program:

Option 1 — Non-Teacher Certification — Apply to this program if you have substantial academic content background (30 hours of content area minimum) and are not interested in obtaining a recommendation for New York State teaching certification. Completing this program without certification allows you to teach outside of New York State, internationally and within schools that do not require certification.
Option 2 — Teacher Certification — Apply to this program if you have initial teacher certification in a content area (e.g., English, math, music, social studies, sciences, early childhood/childhood education) and you are interested in getting the masters degree towards professional certification in your content area. GSE will work with you to create a plan of study so your coursework prepares you for institutional recommendation for professional teacher certification in New York State.
Option 3 — You have broad interests in a range of issues related to education, curriculum, instructional technology, learning sciences or other issues related to what happens in classrooms. This program is flexible enough for you to take a range of courses that will give you the background to work in a range of education-related professions.
