Welcome to Syracuse University’s School of Education, a national leader in inclusive urban education.
The school offers a variety of degree programs in teaching and nonteaching areas. Many of these programs lead to initial teaching certification in New York State. Emphasizing a solid foundation in the liberal arts as well as education, each degree program accommodates the personal and professional needs of its students. Many of our faculty members hold dual appointments in the School of Education and another college within the University. The School of Education also offers numerous laboratory and field-based teaching experiences in cooperation with local school districts, community institutions, and on- and off-campus early childhood centers.
There are no careers more critical to the human condition and sustainability than teaching, educational policy and the foundations of education, research in health and exercise science, counseling and instructional technology. Our undergraduate and graduate students as well as our faculty come from throughout the U.S. and from around the world.
Our leadership in inclusive urban education is built on a legacy of pioneering work in advancing educational opportunities for all learners. By linking research to practice our community of scholars and innovators collaborate to lead nationally recognized centers and institutes and serve in leadership roles on national boards, research projects and international conferences and projects.
Join us here at Syracuse University, take part in our centers abroad in London, Florence and Beijing or in our research and training projects in Asia, Australia, Latin America and Africa. Be a part of groundbreaking projects such as Say Yes to Education and Economic Development, Schools of Promise, Smart Kids, our Summer Reading Clinic, and the Center on Human Policy, Law and Disability Studies as well as many other dynamic programs. Become part of the School of Education’s mission to address issues and seek solutions that can define the future of teaching and leadership, higher education, health and exercise science, reading and language arts, instructional design development and evaluation, and counseling in America and around the world.
