About the program

The Adolescence Education (Dual Degree) program from Marist College is a cohort-based program and is structured for candidates to achieve their Bachelors Degree (BA or BS) in their content field and become eligible for teaching certification by completing pedagogical coursework and student teaching at the Masters level.

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.
