Education
As a teacher, you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. Education majors begin observing teachers and students in the classroom their very first year. Coursework and knowledge later come together when students begin student teaching. At the end of the program, graduates are prepared for rewarding careers helping to educate our future generations.
The undergraduate programs within the School of Education include:
- Childhood (1-6)
- Middle (5-9)
- Secondary/Adolescent - English
- Secondary/Adolescent - Math
- Secondary/Adolescent - Social Studies
Medaille College has a long-standing reputation in Western New York for producing some of the area’s most effective teachers. Many area school boards prioritize Medaille graduates when looking through resumes. The reason? A Medaille graduate is ready to teach the very first day on the job.
Faculty
The Education Department includes faculty members who specialize in areas such as literacy, curriculum and instruction, educational preparation and special education.
