Adolescence Mathematics (M.S.T., Transitional B)
30 credits
NYSED 30607/30608
This clinically rich master’s degree program prepares candidates to teach mathematics as a content-area subject in grades 7 through 12.
In addition to the general requirements for graduate study and for initial teacher education programs, candidates for the adolescence mathematics program must have an undergraduate major in mathematics or its equivalent with a minimum of 30 credits in specific mathematics content areas.
Otherwise qualified candidates who lack coursework in a specified area may be admitted conditionally, but must make up the content deficit prior to completion of the program. Attendance at an Adolescence M.S.T. information session is recommended.
