The undergraduate programs offered by the New York University (NYU) Department of Teaching & Learning meet New York State (NYS) teacher certification requirements. Upon request, students who graduate from our programs will be recommended for initial NYS certification by the department. All CORE liberal arts coursework completed at NYU may be reviewed by future institutions as part of the professional certification process or future graduate program admissions requirements.
For example, if a student is waived from a foreign language requirement by our Steinhardt school policy, a future graduate program may still require additional coursework or exam to meet their program requirements. Also, students may be asked to provide additional documentation for reviewed courses such as syllabi or course descriptions. We therefore advise that students keep a record of all liberal arts course syllabi. We maintain syllabi for all courses taught through the Department of Teaching & Learning and are available upon request.Â
