The Department of Teaching, Learning, and Leadership offers programs on both the undergraduate and graduate level, all leading to eligibility for N.Y. State certification once you have passed all required portions of the New York State Teacher Certification Exam (NYSTCE). We prepare new teachers and education leaders who are just starting out in their field, and help practicing professionals enhance their careers with additional specializations. All of our programs emphasize hands-on learning in a multicultural context. Classes are small, fostering an atmosphere of inquiry and reflection. Fieldwork, internships and student teaching placements are in partner schools especially selected for excellence and diversity. With our emphasis on practice, you will be out in the schools—observing, learning, and doing—from the very beginning.

A non-refundable application fee of 50 USD is required.
