The graduate program in teaching Students with Disabilities (All Grades) has been carefully designed to prepare teacher candidates with the skills and qualifications needed to begin a fulfilling career.

The MSEd Program consists of 30 credit hours and leads to the Students with Disabilities All Grades certificate. This NYS certificate requires that candidates have 6 credit hours in each of the following content areas: English, social studies, science, and math. Students who are deficient in any of these credits must fulfill them before graduation from the master’s program

Students with Disabilities All Grades teachers are in high demand across the U.S. and in the Hudson Valley. This program is a pathway to a rewarding life and career as an educator, community leader, and advocate on behalf of diverse populations of learners.

Education faculty are leaders in their field and dedicated to their students’ success. They strive to nurture six core values in themselves and in their teacher candidates: critical inquiry and intellectual development; professional skills and dispositions; culturally responsive practice; social justice education; democratic citizenship; and student advocacy.
