Graduate Courses

This course is designed by the student and sponsoring faculty to investigate an area or field of specialization not normally offered in scheduled course offerings. It is an opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty member to engage in fieldwork/internship, research, curriculum development, or another independent project. Through course meetings and assignments, students develop the necessary skills to later use in their job search and career. Students who are participating in fieldwork must complete at least 45 hours of work per credit. Students must obtain an independent study approval form from their advisor.

It should be noted that independent study requires a minimum of 45 hours of work per point. Independent study cannot be applied the established professional education sequence in teaching curricula. Each departmental program has established its own maximum credit allowance for independent study. This information may be obtained from a student's department prior to registering for independent study, each student obtain an independent study approval from the adviser.

This is the second part of the two-part experiential laboratory course. Student will be exposed to the development of the counseling process over time through the use of videotaped dyads or a 100-hour field placement (practicum) in schools. The emphasis is on student development of advanced communication skills, self and interpersonal awareness in order to appraise the clinical presentation and provide appropriate strategies for intervention with children, adolescents, and adults across the developmental spectrum.

Review of classical & contemporary theories of counseling from major counseling traditions. Addresses application to social & emotional development children, adolescents & adults with a focus on view of human nature, & normal & abnormal personality development. Introduces students to the evidence-base for the various theories & to the contribution of neuroscience to counseling. Reviews the application to school & mental health settings.

This course is designed to explore the role of the K-12 educational sector on college completion. The course will consider factors such as a changing demography, segregation, and the role of early, middle, and high school interventions on postsecondary success. The course will also examine theoretical frameworks from sociology and economics to understand how student experiences in the early part of the educational continuum may have implications for longer-term educational outcomes for various student groups in the U.S.

​This course will focus on historical writings and recordings; practices will be examined from ca. 1750 to the present, focusing in detail on the pianists and pedagogues of the recorded era who have significantly influenced contemporary performance aesthetics.

The integration of concepts related to understanding the development and evaluation of workplace learning practices. Students combine business management and adult learning concepts as a framework to plan for and evaluate a wide range of training approaches in organizations.

Designed to examine, compare, and evaluate theoretical approaches and conceptual models for the study of complex organizations.Theoretical bases for research and organization analysis are explored.

Introduces graduate level preservice teachers to the complexities of teaching by exploring four major themes -- learning, knowledge and knowing, teachers and teaching, schools and schooling. Each theme is investigated by analyzing issues of the learner's autobiography, the challenges of diversity, the power of collaboration, and uses of reflection. Students read and respond to a range of relevant tests, engage in observation of an elementary or secondary school classroom, create a classroom portrait with a focus on a particular learner, and produce a learning portfolio.

Look behind the curtain of study abroad and international exchange at the world’s
leading global university: NYU. In this experiential course students examine the processes underlying international student exchange and study abroad across NYU’s global academic centers. Students meet and work with leadership and staff at NYU’s global programming offices and explore the extensive planning, coordination, logistics, and collaboration involved with creating and executing international education experiences.

This problem-based learning course introduces graduate students to instrumental tools used in the evaluation & treatment of swallowing disorders (other than gold-standard videofluoroscopic & endoscopic methods). Students will actively engage in problem-based learning in a group setting & present findings to their peers. This course exposes students to a variety of current instrumental tools for the assessment/treatment of swallowing disorders & promotes the development of life-long learning skills.

Practical procedures and materials for conducting instrumental ensembles at all levels of music education. Students enrolled in this course demonstrate essential instrumental conducting techniques, knowledge of appropriate instrumental repertoire, and the ability to analyze and synthesize chamber and orchestral music scores for conception, interpretation, rehearsal, and performance.

Private or group lessons (by examination) in instrumental jazz, supplemented by extra assignments, outside practice, and observation.

Lab ensemble is an essential program requirement to prepare emerging teachers for K-12 certification to strengthen performance skills on primary and secondary instruments. This repeatable course is taken during freshman and sophomore semesters while in residence at NYU New York City campus and prior to enrolling in Instrumental Materials, Techniques and Conducting (MPAME-UE 1054) or (MPAME-GE 2115).

Students build on foundations from Fundamentals of Conducting and implement effective teaching strategies for instrumental music educators, including rehearsal planning and preparation, instrumental transpositions, arranging, ensemble resources, performance literature, supplemental materials, and equipment repair/maintenance. Hands-on demonstrations and discussion. Includes collaboration with Instrumental Lab Ensemble. Prerequisite: MPAME-GE 2102 Fundamentals of Conducting

Rehearsal techniques and special problems in ensemble performance.

Examination of educational and cultural exchange programs that disseminate information to foreign countries about a nation's policies, institutions, culture and values. Focus is on the development of international information programs, the purposes of exchange programs, and the relationship between government and private educational and cultural communities. Case studies are drawn from such organizations as the United Nations Department of Public Information, the United States Information Agency, the Council on International Exchange of Scholars, the Institute of International Education, and the Academy for Educational Development.

Extension of work in Integrating Seminar I encouraging deeper understanding and further practices. Focus on development as teach-researcher.
