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 provide an opportunity for a limited number of outstanding liberal arts students to graduate in five years with a discipline BA and an MAT degree. To be eligible, a student must have entered Binghamton University at the beginning of the freshman year and completed the ensuing five semesters at Binghamton University with a cumulative grade point average of 3.4 or better in the discipline and overall.
