Overview

Join a program built on the cornerstones of knowledge, service, professionalism and leadership. A broad range of field experiences, from observation and tutoring to a full semester of student teaching, is an essential part of the curriculum. You will graduate prepared to teach at the high school and junior high school levels, and you may also choose to continue your education at the college at the graduate level.

Participate in Buffalo's urban community through a variety of service-learning opportunities, interacting with an ethnically, racially, and culturally diverse population. As an Adolescence Education major at Canisius College, you have the opportunity to exceed the New York State requirement for 100 hours of fieldwork even before your student teaching.
