Certification

Master’s Program

This 40-credit program (online option) leads to initial/professional certification in teaching students with disabilities, grades 1-6, or teaching students with disabilities, grades 7-12. Candidates must hold a teaching certificate in either elementary or secondary education to be admitted and therefore may also use this degree to satisfy requirements for professional (permanent) certification.

The 12-hour program leading to certification in Teaching Students with Severe/Multiple Disabilities is designed for individuals who already hold New York State initial certification as a teacher of students with disabilities.
