depends on what you have for your undergrad. if you did full art (like me) you're gonna need all your ed. classes, student teaching and observations, plus MAYBE a liberal art or two. go to the nearest boces with your transcript and they'll do an evaluation for you and let you know in 2-3 weeks what classes you'll need (if you go through nys dept of ed it'll take 6-9 months). my friend did this and i was debating it (decided to get my certification through an alternate route) and it took about a year (full time student) to 1.5 years (part time). you can go through dowling (where she went).

once you're certified you can work while you're completing your masters.

hth!
