Eligibility: the Combined program is designed for Freshmen and Transfer students with 26 credits or less. All other transfers with more than 26 credits should apply directly to one of our Liberal Arts and Sciences programs. Upon completion of the baccalaureate degree, candidates are invited to apply to the MST Adolesence Education Program.
Our Combined Program Allows You To:
- Be eligible for initial certification immediately upon graduation. After three years of teaching, one of which is mentored, you will be eligible for professional certification.
- Have an undergraduate degree in your choice of content area, which is not true of the 4 year education programs.
- Be fully qualified with a professional degree in Geology, History, English, Chemistry, etc. (in case you decide not to teach).
- Not have to worry about completing a Master's degree at night or during the summers within five years.
- Save money by paying undergraduate tuition rates for graduate courses during the eighth semester. These credits will count toward both degrees.
- Finish the Masters in one year, instead of two, saving a full year of graduate tuition.
- Be considered much more qualified candidate for a teaching position than a person with a four year degree. Graduates will have a professional degree with extensive Education courses at the graduate level.
- Be more likely to get teaching positions.
Combined M.S.T. programs are only available at a few Colleges. Plattsburgh State is one of those.
