If you completed a master’s degree program at a NYS college/university other than Buffalo State, you will need to contact that institution to determine your eligibility for a college recommendation for Professional Certification. If they are unable to provide you with a college recommendation, please contact us directly for instructions to apply for Professional Certification: teachercertification@buffalostate.edu.
If you completed a master’s degree program at Buffalo State, you may be using a program code to apply for Professional Certification. Program codes for Professional Certification are linked to the specific master's degree program you completed.

If the college recommendation for this title has already been posted to your TEACH account, you will not need to enter the program code. TEACH will automatically select the pathway for this application.
