Description
The 4+1 Program in Philosophy and Education allows SUNY Cortland students to complete a BA in Social Philosophy and an MST in Education in just five years. With just one additional year of coursework, students in the program graduate as certified teachers, able to teach grades 1-6. An advantage of this alternative way into elementary teaching is that upon completion of the BA and MST the newly qualified teacher does not need to complete another Master’s Degree.
