The Master of Arts in Health Education (GATE) program prepares students to teach Pre-K to 12 health education in schools. Students are prepared to promote and maintain healthy lifestyles through skills-based learning strategies, relevant and developmentally appropriate assessment design and understanding individual learning styles. The Master of Arts in Health Education (GATE) Program is offered for students without New York State teacher certification.
Previous course work are evaluated with respect to their comparability with required coursework; however, the M.A. in health education (GATE) degree requires a minimum of 36 graduate credits. Co-requisite core content are not included in the 36 credit minimum but are required for State certification.
Students may be able to transfer up to 6 credits of non-Adelphi graduate level courses and/or up to 9 credits of Adelphi graduate level courses to the program upon advisor’s approval, not to exceed 9 total transfer credits. Program directors may waive undergraduate Health Education Co-requisite Content courses if students have completed an equivalent class in their undergraduate studies.
