Literacy Addition Track

This Literacy Addition Track is only for those candidates who have completed one of the programs in SUNY Cortland's literacy master's degree who desire to obtain the other program.

This 12-credit hour program enables SUNY Cortland literacy master's graduates of the grades 5-12 program to obtain certification in the birth-grade 6 program and enables graduates of the birth-grade 6 program to obtain certification in the grades 5-12 program. Upon completion of either of these programs, candidates must apply for the additional certification on their own through the New York State Education Department (NYSED). Candidates must apply and be admitted to the Literacy Addition Track (Birth-6 or Grades 5-12).
