  • Teacher Certification

    Teacher Certification

    Unlike traditional models, Stony Brook does not have a free-standing education school. Instead, we have developed a "distributed model" in which the individual teacher education programs are housed in the relevant academic departments. This allows students to take advantage of the strengths of these academic departments, while overall responsibility for the administration of programs lies with   Distributed Teacher and Leader Education  (D-TALE) program. 

    For more information about teacher and leader education and certification programs at Stony Brook University, visit D-TALE.

     
  • Master's Options

    Master's Options

    For those students who would prefer to continue their graduate education and pursue a master's degree, all of the courses in this program can be applied to the   Master of Arts in Liberal Studies.   "SPN" courses may be applied to the   Master of Arts in Spanish .  

    A separate application is required. Prospective students should contact the respective directors of each master's program for more before they complete 12 credits.
