Program certification requirements: Each program is different, but there are a few basic pre-requisites.

NY State requires student to have successfully completed 6 credits in a language other than English (can include sign language), and to have completed coursework in math, science, literature, social studies, visual or performing arts, communication, written analysis and expression, and an 18 credit concentration in one liberal art. The NY State requirements do vary from program to program.
All degrees require taking the Manhattanville Writing Assessment (usually taken after first semester), a culminating experience report (CER) or test (depending on the program taken), and a student or supervised teaching experience of one semester.
Depending on your certification status and the program taken, you may need the following certification tests:
- Teacher Performance Assessment (Portfolio) and Educating All Students Test (edTPA)
- Content Specialty Tests (CST) for Multi-Subject
- Content Specialty Tests (CST) for Students with Disabilities
Program Schedule: Program length depends on program taken. Programs range from 38 to 49 credits. A full Master’s program typically takes between two and two and a half years. Courses may be a combination of face-to-face, hybrid, and online. Courses are usually held on various weeknights starting at 4:30pm. A minimum of one on-campus course is required. This may be a weekend course. Cost of all courses will be at price listed below. All programs require varied amounts of observation hours. You will be assigned a faculty advisor once you matriculate into the program. It is advisable to touch base with an advisor every semester to ensure that you are taking the correct coursework as well as staying up-to-date with all your other requirements. Once you successfully complete your Master’s degree and have fulfilled all NYS certification requirements, Manhattanville will recommend you for Initial Certification.
