<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I want to pursue a Masters in Education at one of the CUNY campuses. Is there a general consensus as to which one has the best program?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>For education:
- Brooklyn College
- The City College
- Hunter College</p>
<p>suppose wanna be an art teacher? for what grades, what kind of schools?
If art magnet school, you better did BFA or at least need to know how to draw well.
my kid had fav teacher when he was at art magnet/vocational form Hunter MAT but after long meandering at art students league and strapped painter period.
now my kid is at college prep, had art teacher who could not draw but talk the talk and made some arts and crafts, did some CUNY BA to Queens MAT
former had to brake up fights often and buy paper towel and soap out of his pocket because the school won’t provide him.
Later never had to do any of that because the school had outside funding coming in, kids are goody goody who wanted good GPA than create something out of their hearts and hands.</p>
<p>I think you should think backward, where and when, who do you want to teach? BA or BFA or combined, (CUNY BFA alone usually take five years) people say Queens>Brooklyn> Hunter but to me it’s more of personal choice, commute, day or night job situation, who you’d be living/ going out/ married with, who is happened to be teaching at the certain year… you can’t plan and map out any of that easily.</p>
<p>I just heard from friend of mine that some Hunter grad student stepped out the studio in wee hours from the dark back door that faces traffic to Lincoln tunnel, hit by the car and died.
How anyone would predict something like this? s/he would be alive today if he was in Flushing or Flatbush…</p>
