Master of Arts in School Health Education
(for teachers with prior NYS certification)
Designed for candidates who already hold initial health certification, the program focuses on improving teaching skills, encouraging creative thinking and building greater awareness of contemporary issues and problems. Candidates must earn a minimum of 36 credits to be awarded a Master of Arts degree.
A baccalaureate in a health related area is recommended for admission, but not required. Upon acceptance into the program, each student’s transcripts are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the extent of previous relevant course work. Students meet with an adviser to establish a plan of study. Additional courses (prerequisites and corequisites) may be necessary.
