Undergraduate Degree Programs

The goal of our undergraduate degree programs is to prepare educators who will

• gain knowledge of educational theories and research, technology, and subject content
• use this knowledge to promote active learning and excellence in all students;
• work effectively and equitably with students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities;
• develop their own theories of practice;  
• reflect on and assess their own and their students’ work; and
• continually improve their practice. 

The Department have a long history of working with local school districts to offer a number of different field experience in each of our initial preparation programs.  Programs meet the academic requirements for New York State Teacher certification, and several other states with reciprocity agreements.
