The inclusive adolescence education degree program at St. John Fisher University (SJF) is a dual certification program comprised of the inclusive adolescence education major and a content area concentration/major. The program results in certification in Adolescence Education (grades 7–12) in the chosen content area and Students with Disabilities (grades 7–12) Generalist with the option to add Middle School Extension (grades 5–6) in the content area. This program is designed to prepare candidates to teach in one of the following disciplines at the middle and adolescence levels (grades 7–12 or grades 5-12): biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, social studies, English, and Earth science. In addition, candidates earn certification to teach students with disabilities in grades 7–12 as a generalist. A generalist is certified for employment as a supporting teacher for students with disabilities in content areas other than the candidate’s major area of study.

SJF waives their local general education course requirements for students transferring with an Associate degree.
