Adolescence Education B.A. and MS.Ed. Five Year Programs

MSMC has five year combined programs available for undergraduates who qualify in Biology, Chemistry, English, Mathematics and History/Social Studies. These programs are designed for students interested in teaching grades 7-12. Students may be admitted and allowed to stay in these programs based on criteria listed under the respective majors and a continued 3.0 or better GPA. See programs under specific academic major.

In five years, students will be able to complete all required courses for a bachelor's degree and a master's in education degree, and New York State Certification in Adolescence Education.

Students will be admitted into the B.A./MS.Ed. program upon application to Mount Saint Mary College in their freshman year. Requirements for entrance and continuing enrollment in the 5-year master's program found under the academic major program.

Students in the 5-year master's degree program may elect to remove themselves from the program and enter a bachelor's program at Mount Saint Mary College at any time. However, no more than 6 credits of graduate education courses may be counted toward an individual bachelor's degree if a student leaves the 5-year master's program for any reason. These graduate credits may not then be used toward a master's degree. Both degrees will be awarded at the completion of the fifth year of the program.
