Overview

Key Facts

Education coursework begins in the first year of study, building to a practicum in a local classroom in the junior year, and student teaching in the fall of the senior year.
Student teaching is offered locally as well as in the New York City and Long Island areas, providing future teachers with both rural and urban school experiences.

You'll enjoy the advantages of a small high-quality institution - small classes and individual attention from faculty in a friendly and supportive environment.
