My D graduated from the direct admit 5 year education program at Plattsburgh. She graduated with an undergraduate degree in birth - grade 2 and K - 6 for elementary. She got her masters in special ed. We live fairly close to SUNY Old Westbury, so, yes, Plattsburgh is far, but I would take the Amtrak up and have a nice relaxing ride. The station is about 5 minutes from campus. If you drive, it’s straight up the Northway, no creepy, windy roads or the like. She student taught in Manhattan, walking distance from Penn Station, and then got a job at a top rated school in Manhattan. She taught for one year and moved into educational technology. Geneseo doesn’t offer a masters program and it isn’t a direct admit, or at least it wasn’t when my D was applying to schools.
