MSc in Education - Business Education in Hempstead United States | Hofstra University

This academic program prepares students for New York State Initial Teacher Certification in business and marketing education for grades K-12, along with an additional certification as a Work Based Learning Coordinator for Career Development. The curriculum combines classroom instruction with practical experiences in diverse school environments, concluding with a full-time student teaching placement. Key elements like literacy, multicultural education, and digital technology are woven throughout the coursework. The program aligns with both the New York State Learning Standards for Career Development and Occupational Studies and the Common Core State Standards. Candidates seeking the Work Based Learning Coordinator extension must independently verify 600 hours of relevant non-teaching work experience to New York State, which could include high school, college, summer jobs, or prior careers. Hofstra University (or any other institution offering these preparation courses) is not involved in validating this work experience documentation.
