3-Pronged Path to Graduation and Certification

3-Pronged Path to Graduation and Certification      

The path to GRADUATION and CERTIFICATION requires you to follow a 3-pronged path including the curriculum in your Academic Major, the curriculum in the Education program, and meet State of New Jersey certification requirements all at the same time. 

It is essential:

  • That you work on all 3 prongs at the same time
  • That you DO NOT ATTEMPT to do 1 prong at a time
  • And that you seek advising and information from all members of your success team. You must seek advising from both your 1st major faculty advisor and 2nd major faculty advisor EVERY SEMESTER.(Exceptions:  Fine Arts, Music, Theatre, Spanish)
  • That you use your tools to success: Curriculum Guides and 4-year plans, your Success Team, the resources on this website and forthcoming Handbook
