Certification Program in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Elementary Education & Music (DHMU)

This is a five-year integrated bachelor’s and master’s of arts program which culminates in two certifications:  one in Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing and one in Elementary Education/Music.  Previous knowledge of sign language is not necessary for acceptance into the program.

Upon graduation with a professional major in elementary education, the student is eligible for certification as a general classroom teacher of kindergarten through grade 5 children in the public schools of New Jersey. This degree program does NOT prepare the student to become the music teacher in the school.
