Minor in Mathematics


Coursework in mathematics is a key area of study at New York Institute of Technology, as required and elective mathematics courses are prominent in every curriculum.

For science and engineering majors, mathematics essentially represents a "second language" without which comprehension of the laws of science would be impossible. The curriculum provides a meaningful sequence of courses to help technically oriented students grasp the quantitative elements of physics; biological and chemical sciences; architecture; and electrical, computer, mechanical, and aerospace engineering. Courses give students of non-technical subjects an understanding of the basic tools of algebra, trigonometry, and elements of calculus for application in their professional fields. Use of technology is stressed throughout the curriculum.

In addition to the prescribed mathematics courses, advanced electives provide further study and enrichment.

Students with a strong interest in mathematics have an opportunity to enhance their undergraduate program by pursuing a minor in mathematics.

Course Requirements:

Grade Requirements:

Students interested in pursuing this minor should discuss this option with the academic advisor for their major discipline and notify the chair of the Department of Mathematics on their campus.

Math Placement Exams: Most students taking college mathematics for the first time, whether currently enrolled, entering freshmen, or transferring from another institution, are required to take a mathematics examination prior to registration. Registration in the appropriate level mathematics class will be determined by the results of the examination and consultation with the mathematics faculty. Students whose mathematics diagnostic test results indicate they need a developmental mathematics course will be enrolled in MATH 101 in order to receive intensive assistance in developing the basic skills required to study mathematics.



Psychology


The undergraduate degree in psychology provides an overview of the key concepts and theories of the major perspectives of psychology (biological, developmental, social, cognitive, and clinical psychology). Students demonstrate their knowledge gained in their psychology classes to practical situations through various written, oral, and/or role-playing assignments.

Undergraduate training is offered through both entry-level and advanced courses, which provide career-related internships (e.g. field placement) and firsthand research experience (e.g. research methods). Students are offered the opportunity to work closely with faculty on research projects to get firsthand experience in the field. These programs prepare students for a variety of careers in clinical, social, educational, and industrial environments.

Traditional courses, online courses, and summer courses are offered.

International F-1 students who successfully complete this degree are eligible for an additional 24-month STEM OPT extension to work in the U.S. in an area directly related to their area of study immediately upon completing the customary 12-month post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT).

Graduates

Graduates become eligible for positions such as human relations specialist, caseworker, or psychological technician. Similarly, graduates are prepared by means of these programs for postgraduate study and advanced training in the fields of psychology, social work, counseling, and law.

Research Opportunities

Students are encouraged to get involved in psychology research as Undergraduate Research Assistants. These opportunities allow students to participate in designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, preparing and authoring manuscripts, and presenting their research at both national and international conferences. Research opportunities are available in the fields of social-developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, and the psychology of teaching and learning. Please contact Dr. Robert Alexander at ralexa04@nyit.edu for more information.

Curriculum Requirements



Minor in Medical Humanities


The Medical Humanities Minor program offers students the opportunity to study ethical, historical, and cultural aspects of medicine in an interdisciplinary context. Good healthcare and doctoring consists of more than a practitioner’s ability to memorize, synthesize, and apply technical medical knowledge. At its core, healthcare consists of human relationships; skills of empathy, communication, observation, and analysis are vital to the practice of medicine, and these are the skills that the humanities inculcate and foster.

The Medical Humanities Minor examines issues of personhood, disability, illness, health, and the historical and social context of medical practice in a multi- and cross-disciplinary context, which may include literature, philosophy, ethics, anthropology, cultural studies, psychology, sociology, theater, film, and fine arts. For students interested in careers in healthcare, the medical humanities program creates a deeper understanding of the history of healthcare and the cultural forces that impact their profession. The curriculum also is in keeping with the recent changes in the MCAT exam, which now includes sections focusing on sociocultural components of health and critical analysis and reasoning skills. Perhaps more importantly, the Medical Humanities Minor helps students develop narrative and cultural competency, resulting in more effective and humane clinical encounters with patients. The program is open to all students, of any major, who have interests in health, medicine, communication, and creative expression.

The minor requires that students take at least 15 credits from a list of approved courses. Two courses, FCWR 302, Communication for Healthcare Careers, and ICLT 316, Literature and Medicine, are required. This program is available to both Long Island and New York City students, and many courses are offered with an online option.



Minor in Psychology


The Minor in Psychology gives students the opportunity to investigate the subject on a theoretical, statistical, and practical level. Students start with an introduction to psychology concepts, methods, and vocabulary before moving on to more advanced topics, such as theories of personality, human development, and abnormal psychology. Students examine the individual and the conditions that influence behavior as well as issues like growth and development, learning and thinking, emotions and motivations, personality and assessment, mental health, social interaction and influence, and more.

The program is open to students from all majors who wish to gain further knowledge in the field of psychology. It is particularly appropriate for students majoring in Health Sciences; Health and Wellness; Biological and Chemical Sciences; Business; and Nursing, as well as those pursuing combined degree programs in areas such as Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Physician Assistant Studies. Upon completion of the minor, students will have gained a solid theoretical base of knowledge and a comprehensive understanding of terms and concepts important to psychology.

The minor requires that students take at least 15 credits from a list of approved courses (16 credits if the student chooses to take PSYC 210 Statistical Analysis), including PSYC 101 Introduction to Psychology, and at least one course at the 300 level. All faculty and library resources available to those in the Department of Psychology and Counseling will be available to students who choose to minor in psychology.



Minor in Technical and Professional Communication


Why is a minor in technical and professional communication important?

Technical and professional communication exists across numerous job fields and remains a top priority for job providers. The focus of technical communication involves ethics in work-related writing as well as the basis for all written and oral communication in the professional space. Technical and professional communication students learn valuable skills, which prepare them for a modern workforce and give them an ethical foundation. These students emerge with the ability to provide their employers with crucial documentation. For students interested in careers in the technical or medical professions, technical and professional communication offers an added dimension to their degrees, enabling them not only to perform their chosen duties, but also to communicate better with colleagues and make themselves more viable candidates for positions in their field.

This interdisciplinary minor meets the requirements designated by the Senate Curriculum Committee:

A common concern among employers is their new hire's inability to communicate effectively, either in professional environments, or on social media or the web. This minor will give these candidates a strong background in such communication that will make them attractive candidates in the job market as technical and content writers, as well as engineers, graphic designers, and IT technicians.

The minor in Technical and Professional Communication would be of interest to the following majors: Architecture, Business Administration, Computer Engineering, Computer Graphics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, English, Graphic Design, Information Technology, Interdisciplinary Studies, Mechanical Engineering, Urban Administration, and more.

Students undertaking the Technical and Professional Communication Minor will be prepared to:

  1. Utilize professional communication skills to produce materials, solve problems and formulate solutions for expert and non-expert audiences
  2. Create written/oral/visual communication in a workplace environment individually and collaboratively
  3. Formulate social media structures to create positive R.O.I. for businesses and expand their reach in the social media environment
  4. Design and compose visual elements and integrate them into technical and professional texts
  5. Prepare for workplace opportunities through hands-on experience

The minor consists of 15 credits, and is open to all students. Students must earn at least a grade of "C" in each course taken and must obtain a GPA of at least 2.7 in the minor course of study. If a student passes minor courses but does not meet these minimums, the courses taken toward the minor will count as elective credit.

Consistent with university regulations, there must be a minimum of six credits taken in residence (not transfer credits) and a minimum of six credits outside of the student's major requirements and/or General Education curriculum.



Minor in Literature and Culture


The Department of Humanities offers a Minor in Literature and Culture that will complement many majors across all schools.

While expanding students' horizons through extensive reading and engagement in the historical and cultural contexts of written texts, this minor will allow students to develop key skills employers desire, such as critical thinking, analysis, cultural awareness, and written and oral communication. The designation of a Minor in Literature and Culture will be a mark of a well-rounded candidate with additional proficiencies.

The Minor in Literature and Culture consists of 15 credits and is open to students of all majors. In addition to taking one three-credit ICLT course to satisfy the General Education requirement, students in the minor take four more 300-level courses from among the Literature Core, one of which may be a creative writing course.

Students taking the Minor in Literature and Culture will be engaged beyond their major discipline in keeping with the learning goals of New York Institute of Technology:

The Minor in Literature and Culture will prepare students for long-term success by exposing them to traditions and issues in different cultures, training them to consider multiple perspectives, familiarizing them with narrative/storytelling conventions relevant to many industries (such as marketing, filmmaking, gaming, and social work), and improving their overall communication abilities.



Minor in Civic Engagement


The Minor in Civic Engagement promotes the values central to higher education in democracies, including fostering a respect for diverse perspectives, freedom of speech and assembly, diplomacy, and representative governance. This minor prepares students for the inevitable connection between a successful professional life and active participation in public life. Civic engagement enhances professional identity and prospects, and the networking opportunities provided in the minor align with the values and goals connected to the university's mission, including that our graduates will "contribute to local and global communities through social and professional relationships." In their public and private lives, students encounter an increasingly polarized public sphere in which we find credibility and accountability frequently questioned, and they require an education that fosters critical thinking and exchange over ideological orthodoxy and intolerance to diverse views.

Large proportions of employers agree that all students, regardless of their chosen field of study, should gain an understanding of democratic institutions and values; take courses that build the civic knowledge, skills, and judgment essential for contributing to a democratic society; acquire broad knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences; and gain intercultural skills and an understanding of societies outside the United States. Our Minor in Civic Engagement allows students to articulate and activate this strength through experiential learning with community partners and solid academic grounding in the historical, creative, political, and scientific issues connected to their selected civic engagement interest. The minor will provide transferable skills that will enhance their attractiveness to future employers. Students can design a plan with coursework and experiential learning projects suitable for professional and personal goals and values. These skills include networking, problem-solving, teamwork, cultural competency, commitment to continuous self-examination, relationship building, and integrated leadership.

The Civic Engagement minor fulfills a desire for service-learning programs with strong connection to academic coursework by providing a problem-solving, community-based education informed by a solid background in social theory, history, technology, and culture. The minor is open to students of all majors. In addition to taking one three-credit ICLT course to satisfy the General Education requirement and a writing workshop capstone course, students will take one additional course from each of three areas: Creative/Cultural Expression, History/Politics/Government, and Science/Technology, for a total of 15 credits.



Interdisciplinary Studies


The Interdisciplinary Studies program offers a flexible, self-designed degree that educates students for a wide variety of careers and graduate studies. It is particularly suitable for students interested in combining more than one discipline and in integrating knowledge from across various fields. The program requires students to take courses in two disciplinary concentrations as well as interdisciplinary core courses that help them draw connections between their selected areas. A degree that integrates and develops competencies in several disciplines may be the best preparation for the shifting demands of the modern workplace.

The wealth of elective and online credits available in Interdisciplinary Studies affords excellent opportunities for students with prior learning experience (transfer students, veterans, and working adults) who need to complete their degrees in a compressed period of time. Transfer credits or prior life experience may also convert to New York Institute of Technology credits for a faster graduation date.

Furthermore, the flexibility of the Interdisciplinary Studies program is also ideal for students who would like to switch majors, since students’ pre-professional credits from other university programs would count toward this degree, ensuring a timely graduation even if a student has spent one or two years in a different disciplinary track.

Program Components

Students in the program are paired with a faculty advisor, and together they design the student’s degree map. The course of study is built around a required liberal arts core curriculum (36 credits), which introduces students to the various areas of study at the college. In addition to the core courses, each student selects two subject areas of concentration, taking at least 15 credits in each area. The 45 remaining elective credits are chosen to complete and complement the student’s individual degree plan. An additional 15 elective credits may be taken in one of these areas of concentration (for a total of 30 credits), and an additional three elective credits in each of the two areas (for a total of 18 credits in each). To stay competitive, highly motivated students may decide to add a third concentration (15 credits), and/or a minor to the degree. Students may have a maximum of three concentrations and two minors. Students who select a concentration that is also offered as a minor at New York Tech, may not add that same minor to their degree.

Interdisciplinary Studies has two required courses offered by the program:

  1. Foundations of Interdisciplinary Research (IDSP 310) introduces students to the historical contexts of Interdisciplinary Studies and the development of academic disciplines.
  2. The Capstone Seminar (IDSP 410) concludes the college experience by involving students in research activities related to their concentrations.
    • Instead of the Capstone Seminar, students can complete an Internship (IDSP 450) or a Senior Project with a faculty member (IDSP 403).

Areas of concentration may be selected from the following categories. Program advisors have a full list of courses that can be used to fulfill these concentrations:

* The humanities concentration may include courses in such areas as literature, philosophy, art history, architectural history, or film history.

The program in Interdisciplinary Studies offers three degrees:

Although all students complete the same core courses, individual degree plans differ significantly:




Childhood Education, M.S. (Grades 1–6, Initial/Professional Certification)


The Master of Science in Childhood Education is designed for individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree and want to become teachers in grades 1–6.

Our program focuses on instructional planning and assessment, as well as the skillful integration of technology. The program will give you the skills and experience to teach diverse student populations in a variety of classroom settings. Each course includes assignments that connect to the ten hours of field experience offered in collaboration with elementary schools in the candidate's local area. Our technology-infused program is offered in multiple formats (online, face-to-face, and blended) on a full-time or part-time basis. Program requirements for Initial/Professional Certification are 39 credits.

For those who would also like to be able to teach English Language Learners (ELLs) and culturally and linguistically diverse students, New York Institute of Technology offers an optional nine-credit bilingual extension. (To receive NYSED certification, you will need to independently pass the Bilingual Education Assessment (BEA) in addition to successfully completing the course requirements for this extension.)

Prerequisite Foundations for the Master of Science in Childhood Education Program (Initial/Professional Certification)

Preparation for a career as a childhood educator begins with a solid foundation in general studies and a major in one of the arts and science areas represented in the childhood education curriculum. Candidates must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.

Candidates are also required to have a satisfactory command of spoken and written English. Applicants who are judged to have inadequate English language skills may be required to take undergraduate coursework to strengthen their language skills before continuing in the childhood education program. A structured interview may be part of the admission process.

Field Experience and Student Teaching
Field experience and student teaching provide candidates with substantial clinical practice prior to graduation and independent professional practice. Field experience is linked with course assignments and progresses from observation to participation to clinical practice. Teacher candidates observe in a school setting under the supervision of a cooperating teacher and complete an assignment linked to each required course. The field experience component of the program is a critical part of a candidate's professional development and provides opportunities for candidates and the faculty to assess the development of professional skills and applications of classroom learning.

Candidates who have completed 30 semester hours in the program may apply for student teaching. Applications must be submitted by March 1 for fall semester student teaching, and by October 1 for spring semester student teaching.

Student teaching placements are based on the semester schedule of the cooperating school and provide the teacher candidate with the professional environment to observe, prepare instructional plans, and teach students under the guidance of a master teacher during student teaching. The teacher candidate is required to remain at the cooperating school five days per week commencing the first day of the school's semester through the final day of classes in the New York Tech semester.

During student teaching and within the college calendar, teacher candidates attend professional education seminars in person or virtually, as required by the College of Arts and Sciences. The demands of the student teaching placement require a five-day-a-week commitment for the professional semester. A student teaching orientation program and handbook provide additional information to the candidates at the beginning of the professional semester and student teaching experience.

The checklist for the admission requirements to student teaching can be obtained from the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Education Office of Field Experience and Student Teaching.

Students graduating from this program are eligible for teaching certification once they have passed all required portions of the New York State Teacher Certification Exam (NYSTCE). Students may also apply for an Internship Certificate after completing 50 percent of the courses. Internship certification permits students to begin a regular teaching assignment while they complete their degrees.

Course Requirements
The program is organized to build knowledge and skills through carefully developed course content and related field experience, culminating with student teaching. The program of studies should be followed as designed; exceptions may only be made with approval of the program chairperson.

In addition to the courses and experiences above, candidates in the Childhood Education Program must complete the following non-credit-required workshops:

The Master of Science in Childhood Education Program will prepare candidates for New York State initial/professional certification. All students receive personal one-on-one advisement by expert program faculty. Financial aid is available for qualified students enrolled in six credits or more.

  1. A student may earn up to three credits by challenging for life experience.
  2. Those entering the program without sufficient technical background must take six additional credits in a technical area. Members of the faculty will determine what constitutes an appropriate background.



Minor in Chemistry


A minor in chemistry will provide students with the skills and experiences that will prepare them for a variety of careers and continuing their education in professional schools. Students will have the freedom to select courses in chemistry that will prepare them to do, make, innovate, and reinvent the future in industrial, governmental, or non-profit/activism organizations. Specific career paths include environmental protection and policy, public health and safety, quality control and regulation, pharmaceutical sales, or forensics and toxicology. Students seeking advanced degrees in medicine, dentistry, law, or the biological sciences will broaden their knowledge base and enhance their credentials for the next steps in their career.

Students in the program will be able to apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to integrate chemical concepts to propose and test independent hypotheses as a part of an interdisciplinary team. Students will be able to demonstrate effective written, oral, and electronic communication skills to relate their ideas and findings to both peers and the public at large. Students will gain laboratory skills including the use of common instruments, experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and the application of chemical safety and hygiene.

This new minor will allow students to continue their study of chemistry beyond what is required for their chosen major, opening opportunities for scholarship by allowing students to pursue cross-disciplinary research in topics like biological chemistry, computational chemistry, chemical physics, and pharmaceutical sciences. Students will also be exposed to research in organic, analytical, physical, inorganic or environmental chemistry research with our chemistry faculty.

The goal of the chemistry minor is to enhance the skills and knowledge base of students to aid in their transition from an undergraduate program to advanced STEM programs and STEM careers. By the time students complete a minor in chemistry, they will be able to demonstrate a mastery of the major concepts and principles of chemistry, and will be able to address how the principles of chemistry relate to the larger world, including the impact of chemical discoveries on social, environmental, economic, and medically related issues.

At least nine of these credits must be taken beyond the chemistry requirement of their chosen major. Students majoring in other sciences, such as biology, biotechnology, physics, or biomedical engineering will have the opportunity to earn a chemistry minor during their time at New York Tech. Students pursuing other STEM majors—or who have the ultimate goal of medical school—may also find it beneficial to complete the minor in chemistry.



Minor in Physics


To further our mission of providing a career centered education, and to allow undergraduate students to pursue an organized, coherent secondary course of study, New York Tech has created a minor in physics. Just as an academic major gives an employer or professional school an idea of one's ability to specialize and to develop an understanding in depth of a particular discipline, an academic minor provides an occasion to expand the breadth of a student's interests independently of the student's major. It demonstrates broad competence beyond a narrow specialization.

The physics minor provides a perfect opportunity for students in other areas to take and complete in a reasonably short period of time. The minor is flexible and suitable for students who are pursuing a STEAM career. The physics minor strengthens the skills not only for STEM majors, but other related majors as well.

Recently, the boundary of knowledge in STEM areas has been blurred. Having an undergraduate degree in one area with a minor in another will prepare students for problem solving and critical analysis and help them to start their career with a better set of tools.

Learning Outcomes, Post-Graduation Opportunities, and Interdisciplinarity:

Students interested in pursuing the minor in physics should discuss this option with the academic advisor for their major discipline and notify the chair of the department on their campus.

Total credits for the physics minor is 15 to 18 credits.



Minor in Equity and Innovation


With the recent establishment of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, New York Tech affirmed its institutional commitment to sustaining a community in which all members can thrive. In alignment with our institutional mission and core values, we find that students want to connect their professional aspirations with their desire to live in a more equitable and just society.

The Minor in Equity and Innovation allows students to focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) issues from creative, cultural, ethical, and psychological perspectives with a special consideration of technology's role in bridging divisions and eliminating barriers. This minor will introduce students to the DEIB standards and initiatives in their major field and connect these professional manifestations with the humanistic inquiry that developed many of the underlying concepts and theoretical frameworks buttressing contemporary DEIB work.

Students will work in partnership with the Office of Student Engagement and Development to incorporate programming, experiential learning, and leadership opportunities. In addition, students will build connections between their major field and the DEIB issue of their choice; with research that can be shared in their department's community to improve presentation and communication skills.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Demonstrate active engagement with diverse perspectives related to identities and communities that have been historically marginalized.
  2. Analyze cultural, institutional and/or systemic barriers to equity, justice, and/or inclusion.
  3. Assess the role of technology and innovation in addressing inequity within the major field.
  4. Synthesize knowledge of DEIB issues from various disciplines of humanistic inquiry.
  5. Create an individualized plan as an aspiring professional for connecting DEIB issues with technological advances or other innovations with the major field.
  6. Develop a public voice to communicate research findings related to DEIB, innovation, and major field intersections.

Students interested in pursuing a minor should discuss this option with their academic advisor for their major discipline and notify the chair of the department on their campus.

Total credits for this minor is 15 credits.
