The Mount's graduate education program enjoys an outstanding
reputation throughout the Hudson Valley region and beyond.
Our students work in schools in our community as part of the
education process. For example, many of our education courses in
literacy are taught at local schools, a practice which provides
“hands-on” experiences for students to apply teaching techniques,
as well as tutoring opportunities for local students of nearby
school districts.
The
Division of Education at Mount Saint Mary College is accredited by
the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
(NCATE), www.ncate.org. This
accreditation covers initial teacher preparation programs and/or
advanced educator preparation programs at the College in Newburgh,
New York. However, the accreditation does not include individual
education courses that the institution offers to P-12 educators for
professional development, relicensure, or other purposes.
NCATE accreditation is a mark of distinction, and provides
recognition that the college has met national professional
standards for the preparation of teachers.
