These programs prepare individuals to teach in grades 7-12 and to earn initial certification in adolescence education in New York state. We offer master's level programs across disciplines, including English, French, Spanish, mathematics, social studies, biology, chemistry, earth science and physics. These programs combine the undergraduate program in a discipline (BA, BS with advisor consultation) and the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Adolescence Education program. Accelerated degree programs are offered in the following disciplines: French, Spanish, mathematics, biology, chemistry, earth science and physics. The accelerated programs include the entire current Binghamton University discipline bachelor's requirements and the current New York State Education Department-approved MAT program in Adolescence Education. The accelerated programs save students one semester of time relative to the separate, sequentially taken BA and MAT degrees. The bachelor's-MAT accelerated degree programs accommodate the needs of a select group of Harpur College students who wish to efficiently combine an undergraduate degree with a graduate-level certification program. These options save students one semester of time compared to the separate, sequentially taken bachelor's and MAT degrees.
