Education Candidates

Please Note: New York State requires that teacher candidates seeking certification must have completed study in college level courses in four areas: English, social science, mathematics, and science, in addition to completing all required pedagogical courses. Mount Saint Mary College students will likely complete most of these distributive requirements as part of the required CORE or General Education requirements for the bachelor's degree. However, even if one has met the Mount Saint Mary College General Education requirements, these required courses must be met to be eligible to receive any New York State certification.
