Application for Teacher Certification

Candidates for graduation who wish to apply for New York State certification in the areas listed above, should complete the appropriate form online on the New York State Education Department website. Students who already possess an initial certification in an area other than that in which the degree is being sought, must apply independently to the state education department for professional certification in that area.

Persons who have no prior New York State teaching certificates and persons who have lapsed teaching certificates must achieve passing scores on the sections of the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations as required by the state education department.
