Nazareth's School of Education prepares innovative, changemaking educators to meet the needs of a variety of learners in today's schools. The undergraduate initial certification programs are one of a kind, offering courses held in partner elementary, middle and high schools.

The university’s location in Rochester, NY, will give you opportunities for clinical experiences across rural, suburban and urban school districts. Nazareth University's programs highlight the contemporary importance of integrating the liberal arts and sciences with education programs, creating educators who are ethical, reflective and effective teachers.
