About the program

The Adolescence Education (Dual Degree) course from Marist University candidates will be held to the requirements of the catalog of the year in which they declare their major.

Highly motivated Marist undergraduate students in content areas of Biology, Chemistry, English, French, History, Mathematics, or Spanish may apply to the Five-Year BA-BS/MAT program that leads to dual certification (content area and Students with Disabilities, both grades 7 – 12). 

Candidates begin their 36 credit MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) program during their undergraduate senior year by taking 12 credits graduate course work (across fall and spring semester of senior year). The remaining 24 credits of the Masters program are taken in the following sequence: 6 credits of graduate work through a hybrid delivery system in the summer following undergraduate graduation, 12 credits in an on-ground setting for the fall semester, and 6 credits of full-time student teaching practicum the following spring.
