I'm considering staying in New York for college and looking into SUNY schools. Can anyone recommend which SUNY colleges have the best programs for education degrees? Any personal experiences or insights?
Several SUNY colleges have excellent offerings in the field of education.
First and foremost, SUNY Geneseo has a strong program in several areas of education, with offerings including early childhood and childhood education, adolescent education, as well as special education. Students rave about the extensive real-world exposure they get starting in their first year, giving them hands-on experience and preparing them for their future careers in education.
Another great option is SUNY New Paltz, home to the School of Education, which offers a variety of programs across different levels and subject areas. This college often receives positive feedback for its focus on social justice issues in education and the opportunity for students to participate in meaningful field experiences.
Lastly, SUNY Oswego has a rich history in teacher education, given it was originally founded as a teacher training school. Known for its diverse range of programs from childhood education to vocational teacher preparation, SUNY Oswego ensures students gain practical experience through student teaching placements.
However, remember to consider things like your preferred learning environment, class sizes, access to faculty, location, and other factors that might affect your college experience. Look into each of these programs and see which one might be the best fit for your personal goals and preferences. Good luck in your search!
