Five-Year Teacher Education Track

The Five-Year Integrated Teacher Education Track provides opportunities for Fordham undergraduates to complete a B.A/.B.S. in a liberal arts and sciences major and a Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.T.). Students must enroll in the program prior to their senior year of undergraduate work in order to take advantage of fulfilling 12 graduate credits as an undergraduate.

The integrated track is based on a reflective practitioner model with cohorts of students progressing through a sequence of coordinated courses and field experiences designed to link theory and practice.

Why should I apply for the Five-Year Track Program?

The Five-Year Track Program is a time-efficient and cost effective way to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree. The Graduate School of Education works to prepare and develop highly qualified teachers who are committed to reflective practice, lifelong learning, professional and school excellence, respect for individuals in a multicultural society, and excellence in academic disciplines.

You will enter each recommendation provider’s name and email address directly into the online application. They will be notified electronically of your request. Please note: you may submit your application even if the submission of your recommendation letters is still in progress.
   
• Statement of Purpose/Intent: Can be submitted directly in the online application. Requirements for the statement may vary by program. Please see individual program requirements.
   
• Resume/CV: Can be submitted directly in the online application
   
• Official Graduate Record Examination (GRE scores): Due to the impact of COVID-19 on standardized testing, submission of GRE scores is optional/not required for select GSAS programs for the 2022-2023 application. However, some programs are still requiring the GRE. Please see the admissions information/requirements page on the individual program pages to determine if the GRE is optional/not required, required, or not accepted at all for your chosen program. Students who do not submit GRE scores will not be at any disadvantage in the process.
