About the School

Welcome to the School of Education, a community of educators committed to inclusive and equitable research and practice.

As Dean, I have a front-row seat on our stakeholders’ myriad impactful contributions to learning-focused contexts that range from schools and universities to community organizations and workplaces.

Driven by our 2023 Academic Strategic Plan, School of Education faculty and staff are working collaboratively to extend and amplify our expertise in three distinct but often overlapping Signature Areas of Distinction: 1) inclusive pedagogy and practice; 2) digital pedagogy and practice; and 3) experiential pedagogy and practice.

Together, we are committed to integrating the School’s historical strengths with the new knowledge, skills, and habits of mind we need to remain at the forefront of fields such as counseling and human services; cultural foundations of education; higher education; instructional design, development, and evaluation; language and literacy; social work; and teaching and leadership preparation.

Accreditation

Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation

Professional accreditation is the bedrock upon which all professions build their reputations, assuring that those entering the respective field have been suitably prepared to practice through acquisition of an approved body of knowledge and pre-service practice in the profession.

Accreditation of schools of education indicates that the school underwent rigorous external review by professionals, that performance of a teacher candidate in the program has been thoroughly assessed before they are recommended for licensure, and that programs meet standards set by the teaching profession at large.

Syracuse University is a member in good standing of the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation (AAQEP). School of Education undergraduate and graduate academic programs have been awarded full accreditation by AAQEP through Dec. 31, 2027.

Full accreditation acknowledges that a program prepares effective educators who continue to grow as professionals and has demonstrated the commitment and capacity to maintain quality. Teacher preparation and other professional school personnel programs offered by Syracuse University are recognized by the New York State Education Department as fully accredited.

Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs

The School of Education’s Counseling and Human Services graduate programs are fully accredited by the highest accrediting bodies in the counseling profession, including the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).

The CACREP accreditation process involves identification of appropriate preparation curricula by the profession, followed by extensive self-study and evaluation by the aspiring counselor education program. Only then does a visiting team of experts come to the university to verify that the program meets national standards. Finally, the visiting team’s report is given to the accrediting board for review and action. Programs may be accredited for eight years, at which time the institution must submit for re-accreditation, following the same process described above.

The Board of Directors of CACREP have granted the School of Education re-accreditation through October 2025. The board based its decisions on an extensive review of the self-study documents, the visiting team’s report, and the institution’s response to the visiting team’s report.

Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Accreditation

At the core of social work education is the responsibility to create and sustain healthy communities and contribute positively to the public good. Thus, the goal of CSWE accreditation at the most fundamental level is to ensure quality education and preparation of social workers to carry out that responsibility. Social work is a public service field founded on core values of justice, dignity and worth of a person, human relations, integrity, and competence. CSWE accreditation standards are grounded in these core values and engages competent and qualified educators and community partners to ensure student competency in research, policy, theory, and practice of social work.

Syracuse University is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) Board of Accreditation (BOA). Accreditation of a social work program by the BOA indicates that it meets or exceeds standards of program quality evaluated through a peer review accreditation process. An accredited program has sufficient resources to meet its mission and goals, and the BOA has verified that it demonstrates compliance with all accreditation standards. Accreditation applies to all program options, which include locations and delivery methods. Accreditation provides reasonable assurance about the quality of the program and the competence of students graduating from the program.

Review our program’s accredited status in CSWE's Directory of Accredited Programs. For more information about social work accreditation, contact CSWE’s Department of Social Work Accreditation.
CSWE’s Board of Accreditation is recognized by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). CHEA recognition assures the public that CSWE’s Board of Accreditation is competent to engage in quality reviews of social work programs based on the CHEA recognition standards.

Schools and Departments

Undergraduate Education

Undergraduate Degree Requirements

All undergraduate programs offered by the School of Education typically require the completion of 120 to 138 credits. Specific program requirements vary, as do the total number of credits.

The School of Education offers five majors and six minors. Some of our School of Education programs are single enrollment programs, which means that students complete their major entirely in the School of Education. Other programs are dual enrollment programs, meaning that students complete one major through requirements in the School of Education and College of Visual and Performing Arts. Students in dual programs will have advisors in both schools/colleges.

Field experiences, usually off campus, are required throughout most programs, with placement sites assigned by course instructors or through the field placement office. The School of Education provides free transportation for field experiences, but students are encouraged to provide their own transportation for student-teaching assignments during their senior year.

At several points during teacher preparation programs, reviews of students’ progress are made to determine continued eligibility for each program. These review points vary, but in all cases include the time just prior to student teaching. See individual program descriptions for further information.

Bachelor Degree Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree in the School of Education will require all students to complete two university-wide required courses: First-year Seminar (FYS 101 First Year Seminar) and a 3-credit IDEA course before graduating. The IDEA course can be selected from an approved list. The IDEA course can be fulfilled either as a liberal arts, departmental course, or elective depending on the course chosen.

The Office of Academic and Student Services

The Office of Academic and Student Services provides a thorough and effective support system for all School of Education students from the admissions process through graduation and beyond.

From academic support to career advice to information about opportunities to study abroad, the professionals in Academic and Student Services have the experience and knowledge to answer questions, provide advisement, and make referrals as necessary.

Academic Advising

Students are assigned to an advisor in the Office of Academic and Student Services at the onset of their studies. The office has the resources to help students better understand academic requirements, negotiate academic policies and processes (for example, course registration, program changes, graduation requirements, etc.), and get the most out of their college experience. For more information about advising, contact acsadvis@syr.edu.

For more information about Career Services and teacher certification, contact soecareer@syr.edu.

Study Abroad

The School of Education supports and encourages study abroad for undergraduate students enrolled in any of our programs.
