Our initial licensure programs are designed to provide strong curricular grounding in disciplinary subjects, deep knowledge of education content and pedagogy, and intensive field-based experiences to allow students to put their knowledge into practice. Our graduates are proud teachers and leaders in public, charter, and private schools across the tri-state area, making a difference in future lives of youth every day. Come talk with us about how a career in education through Wagner College might be right for you.

The Education Department at Wagner College has prepared excellent educators for service in the Tri-State area for over 60 years by providing programs based in current theory and research, requiring a strong disciplinary and general education knowledge base for candidates, and providing students with an exceptional range of field experiences to hone their craft.
