Matriculation Requirements (30-49 credits)
Each student is evaluated individually based upon prior experiences. Based upon this evaluation and current certification requirements of the New York State Education Department, courses in education or another department may be substituted for required courses with permission of the program coordinator.
The Professional Track - (Option A) - Enhances teaching skills for students who have their NYS initial certification in teaching physical education (P-12). Graduates of this Track will be prepared to supplement their instructional, evaluative, and supervisory skills in their positions as teachers, coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and other education related roles. Applicants must hold an undergraduate degree in Physical Education and NYS initial teacher certification in physical education prior to enrollment. The professional track leads to New York State Professional certification.
The Pre-Professional Track (Option B) is designed for students who come to the field from a background outside of the allied health professions or teacher education and seek initial certification to teach in New York State. The pre-professional track leads to New York State Initial and, after 3 years of full-time teaching, Professional certification.

Applicants to the Professional Track (Option A) and the Pre-Professional Track (Option B) and TransB (Option C) Track must have a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.0.
