Candidates must have completed the courses required for a New York State initial certificate to teach in their area of specialization at the secondary (adolescence) level. A copy of the certificate must be submitted to the College. Candidates must also possess the baccalaureate degree in an appropriate major with a grade point average (GPA) at or above 3.0.

Applicants whose GPAs fall below the required minimums may submit a letter of appeal to the admissions committee; however, such appeals will be granted only under extraordinary circumstances. Applicants appealing for admission must present documentation demonstrating their ability to succeed in the program and may be required to take up to 24 credits in undergraduate liberal arts and science courses, as prescribed by the program coordinator, in which they must earn grades no lower than 2.7 (B-).

Applications are accepted for fall and spring semesters. All applications must include two academic or professional letters of recommendation and a one- or two-page personal statement that discusses the academic, teaching, and/or work experiences that have led and prepared the applicant to pursue graduate study in education.
