Graduate Teacher Preparation Program Alternative Certification Brooklyn, NY 

Since 2003, Â鶹¹ú²úAV College has offered Master of Science degrees in Childhood Special Education and Early Childhood Special Education to Orthodox Jewish women in Brooklyn, New York.

Additionally graduates are eligible for a New York State Teaching Certificate as part of the Alternative Certificate Program -Transitional B Certificate [52.21. (b) (3) (xvii)].

Since its inception, Â鶹¹ú²úAV College has partnered with Testing and Training International (TTI), founded in 1996, as a comprehensive program to enable Orthodox Jewish women to earn a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree without compromising their religious principles. To this end, Â鶹¹ú²úAV and TTI have customized this program to the special interests and sensitivities of the Orthodox community and fill a need unmet by other institutions.

The programs offer:

• A 36 credit hour M.S. degree program in Childhood Special Education and General Education (1-6), leading to New York State teacher certification.
• A 39 credit hour M.S. degree program in Early Childhood Special Education and General Education (B-2), leading to New York State teacher certification.

Students in the Brooklyn program are held to the same admission and academic standards as students on Â鶹¹ú²úAV’s main campus and are provided with equivalent support services, including online access to the main campus library.
