Is there anyone out there that is in/has been in the QUEST program at Hunter College? I’m trying to find more information on it but all I can seem to find is what’s on their website and nothing else. I would love to talk to anyone with any experience with this program!!
Hi, Idk of this is too late but I am in the quest program, you should visit the school of education department at Hunter college to talk to the advisors.
Basically, I am in the ECE program. I have to double major in a liberal arts major and ece. You graduate with a bachelors in your liberal arts major (such as psychologu, english, etc) and then you get a certificate to begin teaching early they give you three years untill that certificate expires so you have time to get your master’s. The great thing about it is that you will be able to become a teacher sooner instead of waiting longer to teach when you get your masters which is required in nyc.
Just to clarify: you don’t need a Masters to begin teaching in either NYC or NY State in general. You WILL need it eventually. http://teachnyc.net/certification/alternative-routes-to-certification
That’s true whether you go to Hunter or elsewhere.
