For students without prior teaching certification or those with initial certification in other area(s).
GATE provides an alternative track for both initial and professional certification.
Students without prior certification in health education may enter the Master of Arts program in health education. In such cases, prior course work and experience will be evaluated with respect to its comparability with required course work. Where there are weaknesses additional course work may be necessary.
(Note that the required courses were selected with regard to the implementation of the New York State Standards. If students have strengths or course work that are not listed in the corequisite category, substitutions may be made.)

Note:
Courses are three credits unless noted otherwise.
Note 1: Evaluation of and credit for comparable course work may reduce certification credits needed; however, the M.A. degree requires a minimum of 37 credits in 500 level courses and above. Student teaching (EDU (0801) 538) does not count towards the M.A. degree.
Note 2: Field Experience required for students who do not have appropriate prior teaching experience working with children in health education. These experiences will be selected and scheduled with the students’ adviser and the Coordinator of Health Studies Fieldwork and Student Teaching.
Note 3: Some courses in the program may be taken for noncredit with permission. Required Courses
