The Department of Vocational Teacher Preparation (VTP) provides teacher education programs to prepare individuals to teach their occupational specialty in schools, colleges, industry and other settings where vocational/career and technical education is delivered. Common settings include comprehensive high schools, BOCES' career centers, correctional facilities, community colleges, and training centers in industry.

Students choose Oswego's department of VTP if they have education (30 semester hours or more) or extensive experience in their career field. Those wishing to teach business and marketing (all grades) may enter without experience or education as freshman at the Oswego main campus. The department offers courses fall and spring semester in 10 locations throughout New York and on-line; and summer at selected locations and on-line.

Programs range from an associates degree equivalent (68 sh) to a master of science in education (MSEd). Students' educational and work experience is analyzed, and the most appropriate program is recommended for students to reach their educational career goals. Students completing approved programs are eligible for a SUNY Oswego recommendation for NYS certification.

VTP offers local certificates, bachelor's degree and master's degree programs leading to both initial and professional teacher certification. The following majors are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level:

• Agriculture
• Business and marketing
• Family and consumer sciences (specific subjects only)
• Health careers
• Technical, and trade education

Students completing a program will be prepared to teach their occupational specialty in the secondary, post-secondary or an industry setting.
