Department of Education

Graduate programs in education at Iona College prepare individuals for professional service in schools by offering a variety of degree options. Programs are available for those interested in changing careers or embarking on a career in education, as well as for teachers and school administrators who desire career advancement through provisional or permanent certification. Because of the complex nature of teacher education and state certification, students are advised to develop a program plan early in their course of studies; a plan must be developed and approved at the time of matriculation. Consultation for program planning is available from the graduate coordinator of the education department and the specialization chairperson.

All programs are approved by the New York State Education Department and satisfy the academic requirements for the New York State Teaching Certificate for specific areas.

Candidates enrolled in the professional preparation programs in the education department are expected to meet the ethical and professional standards which are set forth for educators. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available in the education department. Any failure to uphold such standards will result in dismissal from the department.
