Adolescence Education: Chemistry (Grades 7-12) and Students With Disabilities (Grades 7-12)

Marist College offers a state-approved Dual Degree BA - BS/MAT (Bachelor and Masters degrees) program leading to initial teacher certification in Adolescence Education: Chemistry (Grades 7-12) and Students with Disabilities (Grades 7-12). Candidates seeking this certification are encouraged to consult with their academic advisor and the Coordinator of Adolescence Education in the Education Department. Because of the significant number of state certification requirements for this program, it is important that candidates seek such advisement early in their college careers, during their first year if possible. Education and related field requirements for Adolescence Education certification can be found on Childhood Education 1-6, Special Education Certification, B.S. .
