I.General Information and Admissions

This program allows qualified students to earn both a BA and an MAT in social studies education in five years, which is one semester less than it would take if the programs were to be completed separately. The program is open to history majors with a 3.4 GPA or higher, but students are admitted to the program on a competitive basis.

Beginning in the first semester of the junior year, students in the combined program will follow a different course of study than students in the undergraduate social studies program. Therefore, students must apply to the BA/MAT program in the second semester of the sophomore year so that a decision can be made in time to allow students to enroll in the proper courses for the following semester. Transfer students who are interested in applying to the program should contact the program director and complete an application as soon as they are notified of their acceptance to Stony Brook.

Students in the combined program must complete all of the requirements for the major and all of the social studies distribution requirements before beginning graduate study. Students must complete the required courses at the level (undergraduate/graduate) as described below. Courses taken at the wrong level can not be counted towards the degree. All undergraduate courses must be passed with a C or better and graduate courses with a B. To be admitted to student teaching, students must have at least a 3.0 GPA and have completed all other requirements for graduation. Students must earn at least 111 undergraduate credits, and both the BA and the MAT will be awarded at the completion of the combined program.

Students who do not perform satisfactorily in the first graduate history courses may not be permitted to continue in the program. Students who either decide not to continue for the MAT or who are not allowed to do so will be able to graduate with a BA at the end of four years. Please note that, if you do not complete the combined program, only two (2) graduate courses can be counted towards the undergraduate degree.

II.Professional Education Requirements

The methods courses must be taken sequentially and students must earn a B or better in these two courses in order to remain in good standing and progress to the next course in the sequence. The field experience courses must be taken concurrently with the methods courses, and students will be required to repeat both courses if requirements for either course are not met.
