BA/BS in Teacher Education and Professional Development, Specific Levels and Methods

This Bachelor of Science prepares future teachers for dual certification in childhood education, covering grades one through six, and childhood special education. Its integrated curriculum stresses human variability and covers the main content areas of the elementary school curriculum. Field experiences and observations run throughout, ending with four semesters of student teaching in public or independent schools. Students also complete a broad liberal arts requirement alongside the professional sequence. Departmental honors are available through a senior seminar for students with a strong cumulative and major average, and several honors societies are listed. Undergraduate applications are handled by NYU's central admissions office. The NYU Bulletin page for this degree sets out the course list with credit values and a sample plan of study, so prospective students can see how the requirements fit together before they apply.
