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.

The Transitional B program is an alternative teacher certification program. The New York State Transitional B Certificate permits eligible candidates to be employed as a classroom teacher in a New York state public school while completing a master's degree. Upon successful completion of this Transitional B program, graduates of the program qualify and are endorsed for New York state certification in Mathematics 7–12.

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.
