Grades 5-6 Extension (Optional):

The New York State Education Department offers an extension for grades 5-6 to the teaching certificate for Adolescence Education (grades 7-12). Extensions are not required as part of the Adolescence Education programs at The College of Saint Rose. The extension to teach in grades 5 and 6 is designed to enable students to create developmentally appropriate classroom contexts for learning in the content areas of their certification (Biology, English, Mathematics, or Social Studies). An extension will show that the certified adolescence teacher has added expertise in the area of the extension. Adolescence Education students who wish the College to recommend them to the New York State Education Department for the extension must complete all the requirements for their Adolescence Education program and the additional requirements listed below:

Admissions and Financial Aid Information:

See Graduate Admissions section for more information.

The College of Saint Rose has long been committed to the premise that a quality education should be within the reach of qualified students. To this end, the College serves its student body through a comprehensive program of federal, state, and institutional financial aid. While the basic responsibility for financing education lies with the students and their families, scholarships, loans, and/or assistantships can supplement insufficient family resources. The amount of aid available through the College is limited and is awarded on the basis of academic merit. All financial assistance from the College is subject to adjustment if the recipients are later granted aid from other sources. Financial aid awards are contingent upon students’ maintaining good academic standing and satisfactory academic progress.
