School of Education
The School of Education prepares teachers to create productive teaching
environments while offering a broad knowledge of professional education through research,
practice, field experience, and participation in other professional activities.
The program also prepares scholars to contribute to the field of education through
research, conference presentations and publications.
The School of Education meets New York regulations for initial certification in:
- Childhood Education (Grades 1-6)
- Adolescence Education (Grades 7-12)
- Special Education
- TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) (Grades PreK-12)
The School of Education offers graduate programs. (Undergraduates interested in education enroll in one of our bachelor's programs in Interdisciplinary Studies, Biology, English, History, or Mathematics, and begin taking graduate education courses during their third year.)
All graduates become eligible to apply for initial New York State certification in their respective program area upon completion of the master's degree. Students with three years of satisfactory full-time teaching, providing all New York State examinations and program requirements are met, may apply for professional certification.
If you already possess a master's degree or are interested only in certification, D’Youville offers graduate certification programs in childhood education and adolescence education.
