Education Programs
Designed primarily for students who have completed an undergraduate teacher-preparation program—including general education, academic specialization, and professional foundations—Lehman College's graduate programs in education
extend the competence of the classroom teacher, school counselor, and school leader; provide training for specialized school professionals; and promote research for all school professionals. The programs focus on the mastery of academic disciplines, the development of education theory and practice, clinically rich experiences in schools, and research on issues of particular relevance to teachers, counselors, and leaders in urban schools.
The educator preparation programs allow the prospective professional to specialize in such fields as Early Childhood and Childhood Education, Middle and High School Education (English, social studies, mathematics education, science education, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages—TESOL), counselor education, educational leadership, literacy studies (reading education), and special education.
In addition, there are four graduate programs designed for applicants who seek certification as teacher of music, visual arts*, foreign language education, or health in schools. These programs are offered through the Music Department, Art Department,* Department of Languages and Literatures, and Department of Health Sciences in partnership with the School of Education.
The academic and education programs described in this bulletin are designed to fulfill the requirements for New York State initial or professional certification. Students who graduate from an educator preparation program may apply for New York State initial or professional certification, contingent upon their credentials.
Note: The graduate Art Education Program currently leads to professional certification only.
