Program of Study - Master's
Serving professionals with a wide variety of backgrounds and career goals, we offer the following master's level curricula:
MA in English Education Leading to Initial Certification
Program of Study (39 units)
The ENGL program in English Education leads to initial New York State certification for grades 7-12. The program seeks to integrate content mastery with teaching materials in order to provoke inquiry-based learning. It also aims to familiarize students with urban educational environments and enables them to develop classroom strategies that are innovative and appropriate for teaching today's students. The pivotal experience of the program consists of two semesters of student teaching, one at the middle and one at the high school level. M.A. Students, mentored by their cooperating teachers, NYU filed supervisors and methods teachers, are given responsibility for teaching in New York City and public schools. Extensive school-based fieldwork is required prior to student teaching. This program is open to both full-time and part-time students.
Because of reciprocity agreements with other states those certified by New York State are able to teach in most other U.S. states.

Dual Certification M.A. Program in Educational Theatre, All Grades, and English, 7-12
English and theatre have a powerful alliance when learners are provided with the chance to explore literature through the use of drama-based frameworks. In response to a growth in interest in a program combining English certification with theatre certification, we offer this innovative dual certification program, whose curriculum is built on the school's already registered programs in Teaching English, 7-12 and Educational Theatre, All Grades. This program is administratively located in the Program in Educational Theatre.
