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 personnel; and promote research for all school personnel. The programs focus on the mastery of academic disciplines, the development of education theory and practice, opportunities in field experiences, and research on issues of particular relevance to teachers, counselors, and leaders in urban schools.
Graduate programs in education are designed to develop school personnel able to serve students of diverse needs in urban schools. The education 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, foreign language education, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages—TESOL), counselor education, educational leadership, literacy studies (reading education), and special education.
A special program, designed for professional musicians, leads to the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) music degree and New York State certification as teacher of music.
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 education program may apply for New York State initial or professional certification, contingent upon their credentials.
