College of Education
Fredonia’s programs help you reach your full potential as future educators who can change the world!
Change lives! Become a teacher!
Our commitment to preparing highly qualified professionals has earned us a reputation as one of the best teacher preparation universities in New York State. We guarantee that candidates will have the chance to be in the classroom from their first year and each year, culminating in a semester of student teaching during their final year. We also understand the value of teaching theory-based pedagogical practices, and combine educational classes in these areas with practical experiences in the field.
The Office of Student Services is available year-round to assist with any questions regarding the College of Education and teacher certification. Please feel free to browse our website, set up on-campus appointments, or visit our campus to get a personal feel for Fredonia. We welcome any questions you have regarding our various programs and we look forward to helping you with your college decisions!
*New student campus visits can be arranged by contacting the Admissions Office. Graduate students should refer to the Graduate Studies Office.
The State University of New York at Fredonia is a member in good standing of the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP). SUNY Fredonia is working toward accreditation of its educator preparation programs under the AAQEP standards with an anticipated Quality Assurance Review in Spring 2026.
