CAREER IDEAS
Teacher
It takes a lot more to teach than just knowing a topic. You have to understand students, how they learn, and how to motivate them. As an education major at Manhattanville, you’ll learn all of that – and have the opportunity to gain experience by working inside a classroom, developing lesson plans, and observing others in action. Teacher education programs at Manhattanville will prepare you for: • Early childhood settings • Elementary classrooms • Middle and high school classrooms, teaching English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Foreign Languages (French, Spanish and Italian) • Music or art education (any age) Dual-degree programs allow you to earn your bachelor’s and master’s degree in 5 ½ years or less (including summer classes); qualified undergraduates can get a jump-start by taking five graduate courses by the end of their senior year. In addition, Manhattanville offers a SuperStart (SUPST) option for students interested in completing a Master of Arts in teaching in physical education and sports pedagogy.
Prospective teachers must have many talents: You’ll have to demonstrate ability with knowledge and skills in specific areas and be able to convey that knowledge to others while demonstrating an appropriate professional disposition – and, of course, complete your required courses with satisfactory grades.
Admission to the School of Education is not automatically granted with acceptance to the College. Typically, you’ll apply to the School of Education during your sophomore year while taking Fundamentals of Schools and Teaching (EDU 2000) or Foundations of Early Childhood Education (EDU 3017).
If you’re transferring to Manhattanville and have already taken the equivalent of Fundamentals of Schools and Teaching, we urge you to apply to the School of Education at the same time that you apply to Manhattanville so appropriate advising can begin as soon as possible.
