At Stony Brook University, the project underscores the strong collaboration among the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Professional Education Program and the School of Professional Development.

We proudly announce the establishment of two new undergraduate teacher education programs:

Adolescence Education Chinese 7-12

Adolescence Education Japanese 7-12

The two new programs are the most recent addition to the nationally recognized foreign languages programs in French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish. The new teacher education programs for Chinese and Japanese were developed in response to the growing demand for teachers of Chinese and Japanese in New York State and nationwide. The growing importance of Asian language education had led to the establishment of Advanced Placement (AP) courses for Chinese Language and Culture and Japanese Language and Culture by the College Board in 2006. The first AP exams were conducted in 2007. Furthermore, by the 2007-2008 academic year, nearly 100 schools in New York State had included Chinese or Japanese courses in their curricula.
