The Graduate School Academic Programs

Post Baccalaureate Certificate & Endorsement Programs

Health and Physical Education
Program Advisor: Mr. Mel Pinckney | P: 856.256.4576
Health and Physical Education is a kindergarten through twelfth grade certification. Therefore, the Health and Physical Education Certification Program is designed to provide instruction and experience in teaching both elementary and secondary school age students. The program involves a substantial amount of course work in exercise science, health and fitness, team and individual sports, rhythmic activities, and instruction and administration. The length of time required to complete the program is significantly contingent upon the applicant’s existing academic background in the field. However, the professional course work cannot be completed in less than three semesters. In order to be eligible to begin the professional course sequence, you must apply and be approved through the Health and Exercise Science Department.

Teacher of Students with Disabilities
Program Advisor: Mr. Charles Brett | P: 856.256.4787
In accordance with the current State regulations, endorsement as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities is only possible if the candidate already holds, or is eligible for, an initial instructional certification with a corresponding subject area major. The Special Education Services/Instruction Department offers two programs for the Teacher of Students with Disabilities Endorsement. The first is a Post Baccalaureate Program and the second is a Graduate Certification Program. Which is appropriate for you is dependent upon two main factors: (1) District Reimbursement Policies and Placement on the Salary Scale, and (2) Cost per Credit. With the exception of courses that meet the “or equivalent” criteria, no transfer credits will be accepted. We are also a State approved Alternative Route Program Provider.

An endorsement program that leads to certification as a Teacher of Reading is available to students who have been admitted to teacher certification programs or who already hold New Jersey teaching certificates. Reading certification is granted only when a student has fulfilled all requirements for a major teaching certificate. To matriculate, students must complete an introductory reading course, have a minimum grade of B in all reading courses, and have an overall GPA of at least 3.0 (based on 30 semester hours). The program requires students to successfully complete 30 semester hours of coursework in reading and reading-related areas to obtain Teacher of Reading Certification.
