The School of Education is organized into four departments: Educational and Counseling Psychology, Educational Administration and Policy Studies, Educational Theory and Practice, and Reading.
The School of Education offers undergraduate minor programs: General Educational Studies; and Urban Education. The Urban Education minor provides students with an understanding of the changing nature of urban life in the U.S. and its impact on schools, an understanding of the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of urban children and an understanding of school and community factors that are related to healthy development of urban youth.
Undergraduate students are advised that to obtain teacher certification at the University at Albany, students must complete a BA/BS with an appropriate academic major plus an appropriate MA/MS in Education.
Students interested in teaching as a profession should contact the Academy for Initial Teacher Preparation at 442-5144 to discuss their options.
