Comprehensive Examination/Final Project/Culminating Experience Report
The New York State Department of Education has mandated that all Master degree candidates must complete a final project as part of their requirements for graduation. For most candidates this will be a comprehensive written examination. With the approval of the School of Education faculty, students in Music, Art, TESOL or Foreign Language Instruction may complete an integrative project in lieu of the exam. Students taking the comprehensive examination must successfully complete it in the semester prior to their final semester. Students who are qualified to do a final project should complete that project in the semester before their final semester. A student who does not pass must retake their exam or revise the final project. Fall and Spring exam/project application deadlines will be available in the School of Education office and on the Manhattanville website. Candidates in Childhood Education will complete a Culminating Experience Report instead of a Comprehensive Examination.
