Undergraduate Programs Rigorous classes and continual field work equip Saint Rose students to become teachers at any level of education, including: Early Childhood (birth – grade 2): Course topics range from language development to testing and assessment to literacy for young children.

Childhood (grades 1 – 6): The coursework prepares students for the curriculum and instruction in a variety of subjects and are immersed in the latest research in educational psychology, child development, problem-based learning and considerably more.

Adolescence (grades 7–12): Students learn to lead their classrooms, create new initiatives and become responsible agents of change — while preparing to teach biology, chemistry, Earth science, English, mathematics, social studies, or Spanish in middle and high school.

Dual certification options allow students to be eligible for certification in both general education and special education for one of the instruction levels by the end of their program.

Students can also add a bilingual extension in Spanish to any teaching certification program.

Saint Rose teaching programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education
