Time is saved by allowing some courses in science content and pedagogy to count for both degrees. Students should apply to the combined BA/MAT program during their fifth or sixth semester of study towards the B.A. in ESS/Science Education track. (Note: Students should declare the undergraduate major as soon as possible to be eligible for NYS Math and Science Teaching Incentive Scholarships. This declaration requires adding TP/ED to the ESS major title on the major declaration form.) Once accepted into the program, semesters seven and eight will include a mix of undergraduate and graduate courses. Semesters nine and ten will consist of graduate courses only. Candidates will advance to Graduate status upon completion of their 15th graduate credit, typically during their eighth semester.
