Can one work in the field upon graduation from the master’s degree program at St. John’s University?
As graduates of a licensed-qualifying program students can work to obtain the necessary 3000 hours of experience under a credential called a limited permit. According to Section 8409, the State Education Department can issue a limited permit to applicants who meet all qualifications for licensure except the examination and/or experience requirements, in accordance with specific regulations. Limited permits last for two years; they may be renewed, at the department’s discretion, for one additional year. The fee for each limited permit and for each renewal shall be seventy dollars ($70).
