Bachelor of Arts in Content Area Certification in Adolescence Education

You want to be a teacher. So why not save time and money and get you to that goal faster? In NY state, teachers are required to have a master’s degree completed within five years of their initial certification. Don’t put off for five years what you can get done in one!

Having a major in a content area not only allows you to better teach the subject, but it also provides greater opportunities for employment within those fields as well. You’ll benefit from the same amazing faculty, community, and opportunities of your major while also taking classes to prepare you to become an educator.

Students who complete this program graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in their content area, certification in Adolescence Education with or without a dual certification in Teaching Students with Disabilities, and a Master of Science in Education, all in five years.

What do we mean when we say that we're a service-based institution? At the Mount, we encourage students to "Be the Spark" — to use their talents, knowledge, and drive to create change. In the classroom, on campus, and out in the community, we challenge our students to be the best they can be and provide opportunities to use their gifts to help others.

That's why it's our goal to become the most community-service oriented college in the nation. You don't have to wait until graduation to start making a difference. Let us show you how to spark change today!
