Accelerated Dual Degree Programs in Education
Manhattanville’s School of Education offers two options for full-time undergraduates who wish to combine a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Music degree, with a Master of Arts in Teaching or a Master of Professional Studies. Students not majoring in education as undergraduates who demonstrate a 3.4 or better G.P.A. may apply for the Dual Degree Honors Program. This program allows them to take 15 graduate education courses that apply to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees, thus allowing for acceleration of the graduate degree program. Students who have achieved a 3.0 or better G.P.A. by the end of the junior year may apply to the “Senior Start” program, which allows them to take 9 graduate education credits that count toward both degrees.
