For students holding an initial teaching certification, this degree leads to recommendation for an additional New York certification as an Educational Technology Specialist and satisfies the academic requirements for Professional Certification.
Literacy Education
SUNY Oneonta's Literacy Education MS.Ed. degree will prepare you for literacy and reading specialist positions and can be completed in one year, allowing you to enter the workforce quickly.
