4+1 Mathematics BS/Adolescence 7-12, Teaching Students with Disabilities(All Grades) MSEd

Curriculum

The 4+1 program offers a BS in Mathematics as well as a MSEd in Teaching Students with Disabilities All Grades. This program program leads to Initial Adolescence Certification in Mathematics as well as Initial Certification in SWD All Grades. Since it leads to two teaching certificates, candidates must meet the content requirements for both over the course of their curriculum. In most cases, the content area major covers those requirements. In some instances New York State has additional requirements. Please note, this 4+1 program can be completed in as little as 5 years if one summer is included.
