The RIT 4+2 Teacher Education Program


Be part of an exciting new program that creates a bridge between a four-year RIT bachelor’s degree and RIT’s two-year Master of Science degree program in Secondary Education (MSSE).

The RIT 4+2 Teacher Education Program is a truly exceptional value and an outstanding choice designed to give you the skills you need for a successful teaching career. In the 4+2 program you will:

  • receive dual certification in education of students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing as well as in an academic subject such as science or math
  • enjoy small class sizes and one-to-one discussions with faculty who are international leaders in research and the art of teaching
  • have the opportunity to gain valuable real-world teaching experience before you graduate
  • enjoy a top-quality education at a substantially reduced rate

How the program works:

  • You must be accepted to an RIT bachelor’s degree program in one of the following areas:

You can find all of these majors listed in the Application for Admission.

  • Once you are enrolled in one of the bachelor’s degree programs for at least two years, you can complete the application for graduate study to MSSE (during your 3rd or 4th year of studies). You must interview with the MSSE Department Chairperson prior to your admission to qualify for the program.
  • Upon completion of your bachelor degree program, you must have earned:
    • A 3.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA)
    • 30 credits and a 3.0 GPA in your academic subject area (ex. math, science, history/social studies or English)

Once you have successfully completed these requirements, and submitted the official results of your GRE, you will be guaranteed admission to the MSSE program.
