Further your career or make a career change – you can do both at the School of Education.

Pace University’s School of Education graduate-degree programs are designed to prepare individuals to be classroom teachers, administrators in grades 1-12 settings, and specialists in literacy, education technology, and teaching students with disabilities. Our programs are committed to preparing reflective practitioners who promote justice, create caring classrooms and school communities, and who enable all students to be successful learners.
Currently in New York State there is a critical shortage of certified teachers in mathematics, science, and second languages (especially Spanish). There are also additional shortage areas in New York City. To help meet the demand for teachers in the shortage areas, Pace’s School of Education offers Alternative Certificate Programs on our New York City and Westchester campuses. For more information about the teacher supply and demand, please visit www.nysed.gov.

  • communicate effectively and implement instruction and learning situations for diverse populations
  • link theories to practice and to action
  • use technological resources to enhance teaching and learning
  • use effective assessment practices
