The graduate program in Gifted Education at Hunter College is designed to provide educators with a solid background of expertise in gifted education, enabling them to work effectively with a diverse population of exceptionally capable learners, and to take leadership roles in the field. The successful completion of this program will result in a Hunter College Advanced Certificate in Gifted Education, which meets the New York State requirements of 12 credits of coursework and 50 hours of fieldwork. Graduates must also pass the New York State Content Specialty Test (CST) in Gifted Education to receive their extension.
