Education Undergraduate Program

Manhattanville undergraduate students are encouraged to consider teaching as a career. Manhattanville's teacher education programs are competency-based; the prospective teacher must complete the required courses with satisfactory grades, demonstrate competence in specific knowledge and skills and demonstrate the ability to combine these competencies with the teaching of children and/or adolescents.

Admission to the School of Education is not automatically granted with acceptance to the College. Typically, students submit an application during the semester in which they are taking EDU 2000 or EDU 3017 (Early Childhood). A G.P.A. of 2.75 is required to major in education and to student teach. Transfer students who have had the equivalent of EDU 2000 prior to their arrival at Manhattanville are strongly urged to make their application to the School of Education at the same time that they are applying to Manhattanville so that appropriate advising for their program can begin as soon as possible.

• Specific course requirements for each undergraduate certification program, as well as New York State certification requirements and overall program requirements are outlined in detail in the School of Education Undergraduate Catalog online. The information in this booklet should be considered part of the official Manhattanville catalog.

Students may select the traditional B.A. Program or the Dual Degree Honors Program. The Dual Degree Honors Program lead to a B.A. in a liberal arts major and either a Master of Arts in Teaching or a Master of Professional Studies degree.
