Adelphi’s advanced certificate program in Educational Theatre offers a path for the theatre major that already holds a master’s degree to attain New York State teaching certification in theatre P-12. The advanced certificate in Educational Theatre consists of 15 credits in the educational theatre core. For theatre majors who have earned a master’s degree in a non-teaching area, the program will consist of 21 credits, with the addition of a 6-credit required student teaching semester. Additionally, several prerequisite courses in education will be required if lacking in the candidate’s prior course of study.
All teacher certification candidates must take and pass the New York State Teacher’s Certification Examinations (NYSTCE) required for their particular area of certification which includes the Content Specialty Test in Theatre.
