Coordinator of the Certificate program is Professor Francine Shuchat Shaw (212 998 5187, francine.shaw@nyu.edu).
- Academic Requirements Summary
The ECT Certificate is a 30-credit post-master's program, comprised of course requirements as shown below. The Coordinator of the Certificate program and faculty academic advisors assist students in making course selections and planning course sequences appropriate to general guidelines, relevant to students' individu-als goals and interests, and to advance and enhance students' professional practice in the field (all ECT faculty serve as academic advisors; advisors are assigned prior to the matriculation semester). All courses taken must be at the graduate level which, in Steinhardt, are numbered at the 2000- and 3000-levels (and at equivalent graduate levels in other schools at NYU where MA students may take non-ECT electives).

Faculty advisors must approve these choices and will facilitate any special registration requirements. Professional Work Report Certificates are awarded after coursework is completed and candidates have completed three years of work experience in the field; this work can be done before, during, or after coursework is completed (or a combination). With faculty supervision, candidates develop and submit a report which (1) documents work experience in the field and learning in that context, and (2) includes a retrospective critique of the work experience and a prospective set of plans and goals from the point of view of new insights about theory and practice gained through the Certificate program
A minimum of 24 credits must be taken in residency at NYU, i.e., courses offered by NYU.A maximum of 9 graduate credits may be considered for transfer from other universities; these are evaluated by faculty advisors to establish whether they meet criteria established by the Steinhardt School.
Students must maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average in ECT and the overall record.
Students, whether attending full-time or part-time, have a six-year tenure period in which to complete the MA. The clock begins with the first day of the semester of matriculation.
Students must maintain "active" status every semester, from the semester of matriculation through the semester of graduation. Students are "active" in a semester when enrolled for a minimum of 3 credits at the graduate level. When students are not enrolled as such within the six-year tenure period, they are required to register for "Maintaining Matriculation," which provides students with access to all University facilities.
