Policies

The following policies apply to students in the master’s degree programs:

Admission

Admission and degree requirements are shown under the program descriptions that follow.

Admission with Advanced Standing

1. Graduate courses taken within the last five years at an accredited college or university may be accepted at the discretion of the coordinator of the graduate program. A maximum of 12 graduate credits in graduate courses, with a minimum grade of 3.0 (B) in each course, may be applied toward a graduate degree from the College of Staten Island.
2. Acceptance of courses meeting the above requirements is not automatic. Acceptance of any course taken elsewhere toward the requirements for the CSI degree is at the discretion of the coordinator of the graduate program. Courses submitted must be equivalent to courses offered at CSI that meet the student’s programmatic needs. Therefore, students are urged to submit advanced standing requests prior to, or as soon as possible after, matriculation into the program. Forms are available at the Registrar’s Office.

Grade Point Average

Students must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade point average to receive a graduate degree in Education.

The program will foster and enhance students' competence in teaching, understanding of current educational research and theory, and knowledge in selected areas of the liberal arts and sciences. It appreciates and recognizes that education occurs across the lifespan in a variety of settings, and its courses reflect these understandings, work to foster these dispositions in students, and actualize these perspectives in practice. It is designed to serve dual functions through two distinct instructional sequences:

Sequence 1: This sequence is designed for those who have completed the course requirements for initial certification in childhood education from the New York State Department of Education. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, students will have met the academic requirements for professional certification in childhood education.

Sequence 2: This sequence is designed for college graduates who have not completed programs leading to initial certification in childhood education and wish to become elementary teachers. Upon satisfactory completion of the program, students will have met the academic requirements for initial certification in childhood education.

Childhood Education Admission Requirements (Effective Fall 2011)

For Sequence 1, candidates must have completed the coursework leading to a New York State initial certificate in childhood education or early childhood education. A copy of the certificate must be submitted to the program when it is granted by the New York State Education Department. Candidates must also possess a baccalaureate degree in a liberal arts and sciences major, or 36 credits in a liberal arts and sciences concentration, at least six credits each in English, history, mathematics, and science, and an overall grade point average (GPA) at or above 3.0.

For Sequence 2, candidates must possess a baccalaureate degree in a liberal arts and sciences major, or 36 approved credits in a liberal arts and sciences concentration, at least six approved credits each in English, history, mathematics, and science, and an overall grade point average (GPA) at or above 3.0.

For both sequences, applicants whose GPAs fall below the respective minimums may submit a letter of appeal to the appropriate program coordinator; however, such appeals will be granted only under extraordinary circumstances. Applicants appealing for admission must present documentation demonstrating their ability to succeed in the program and may be required to take up to 24 credits in undergraduate liberal arts and science courses, as prescribed by the program coordinator, in which they must earn grades no lower than 3.0(B).

Applications for Sequences 1 and 2 are accepted for fall and spring semesters. All applications must include two academic or professional letters of recommendation and a one- or two-page personal statement that discusses the academic, teaching, and/or work experiences that have led and prepared the applicant to pursue graduate study in education.
