School of Environmental and Biological Sciences/GSE Five-Year Ed.M. (Certification Program in Agricultural Science Education)


Coordinator: Thomas Leustek (848-932-3510; leustek@sebs.rutgers.edu)

Please visit the website.

This program is open to students enrolled in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS). Students who complete this program successfully will receive an Ed.M. in science education from the Graduate School of Education (GSE) as well as a recommendation to the New Jersey Department of Education for Teacher of Agricultural Science (K-12) Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing.

This five-year teacher education program in agricultural science education, offered by the GSE and Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS), leads to a bachelor's degree, master's degree in science education, and initial teacher certification in agricultural education. Rutgers undergraduates do preliminary coursework and field placements as assigned during the sophomore and junior years, are admitted to the program during the spring semester of the junior year, and enter the professional education sequence in the summer between junior and senior years. Students then qualify to have their bachelor's degree awarded by SEBS.

Students continue with the professional sequence the summer after graduation. They return in the fall to complete a full-time student-teaching internship with related coursework and continue with full-time graduate study, including a field-based research project, in the spring. The Ed.M. degree is conferred upon the completion of all five-year program requirements.

After the master's degree is awarded, the GSE will make a recommendation to the New Jersey State Department of Education on behalf of the student to receive a CEAS as a teacher.
