Re: St.joes
Hello. I went there. Yes there program is a dual cert. It's a very good school.
They do misadvice, but I think most schools do.

Re: St.joes
I went to St. Joe's. I loved it. It is a bit high school-ish, but its a small school. You do have to do a thesis, but my friend said they shortened it up. So you got lucky!! You will get the dual certification which is great, if you want to teach special ed. Also, I plan on going back there for my MA in Childhood/Adolescense Special Ed. It is a brand spanking new program! WoOo hoOo!

It is. However, on Long Island its tough getting a job unless you know the aunt or the uncle to the President of the....
No joke.. its so hard on LI! But...you make yourself more appealing because SJC is one of the few who does a dual cert.

Yes..you are so much more marketable with a dual!
I went to St. Joes as well and felt so prepared when I starting teaching.
Also, I was on the interview committee for my school and I can tell you that St. Joseph's grads were in demand. Its got a great reputation.

I graduated from St. Joe's in 2003, but that was right before they started the dual cert. program. The thesis was a big pain in the a**!

Re: St.joes
Hello Alum!
I went to St. Joes too! Honestly, the dual cert sounds nice but it is really who you know and how hard you are willing to work at it to get a job. It took me a while to find a job on LI and I had even left the feild cause I couldn't get hired on LI and the city told me I was "a dime a dozen with my certification" so you have to put yourself out there.
Good Luck and I liked St. Joes good school.
