School of Education

Are you driven by a spirit to educate and inspire young people? At

Syracuse University’s School of Education, we understand that you

didn’t just settle on this profession—you were called to it.

Aspiring teachers like you choose SU for good reason. First, whether

you’re pursuing English teaching, art, or inclusive education, or

any of the several other programs, you’ll get a taste of classroom

experience as early as your first year. Second, SU’s School of Education is nationally

recognized for its innovative partnerships in the Syracuse community, most especially

the unprecedented districtwide Say Yes to Education school reform initiative. Your

experiences may include teaching children in the Say Yes after-school and summer camp

academic programs, leading teenagers in the “Writing Ourselves” project, or listening to

the stories of Holocaust survivors to help students understand the horrors of genocide.

That’s not all you’ll find here. The School of Education also houses studies in health

and exercise science, which can lead to careers in community health, medicine, and

research. The program, which includes a pre-physical therapy track, places you in hands-

on learning environments. You might research how to help NASA astronauts overcome

muscle atrophy or how to develop fitness programs that will enable America to overcome

the challenge of childhood obesity.

Whether you pursue teaching or a career in the health sciences, or the selected studies

program in anticipation of graduate work in counseling, technology, or higher education,

your degree from the School of Education will prepare you to make your mark in the

world.

Physical Education and health and Physical Education

If your aim is to provide children and adolescents with a strong foundation for a

physically active and healthy lifestyle, you will find the best possible preparation in

one of the two teacher preparation physical education programs offered through the

Department of Exercise Science.

The physical education program prepares students for New York State certification

in physical education grades K-12. It provides specialized training in teaching methods,

skill proficiency courses, and field experiences in teaching and coaching that encourages

all children and adolescents to embrace a physically active lifestyle with a focus on urban

and inclusive settings.

The second option is the newly created health and physical education program,

which adds 15 credits (5 courses) in health to the current physical education program.

By doing so, the program prepares students for New York State certification in both

physical education and health education. You will take such courses as anatomy and

physiology, adaptive physical education, community/environmental health, and teaching

methods for elementary and secondary physical education.

Through both programs you will have early exposure to teaching with a

gradual increase in responsibility, which will help you build confidence and develop

professionalism in the classroom and gymnasium.

health and Exercise SciencePursue your interest in the physiological, mechanical, and psychological aspects of

physical activity and health behavior with a B.S. degree in health and exercise science.

You can choose from three tracks in this nonteaching certification program.

Interested in community health and fitness, corporate fitness, clinical physiology,

research, medicine, or sports medicine? The general health and exercise science track will prepare you well for these fields. The program includes a solid foundation in the

natural sciences as they relate to health and exercise, and you’ll learn how to design and

implement health and fitness programs in multiple environments.

In the pre-physical therapy track, you’ll build the prerequisites for graduate study

in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. At the same time, you’ll have

flexibility in course selection to leave your options open to other related careers.

You may consider the DPT “fast-track” 3+3 program with SUNY Upstate Medical University. First, you’ll spend three years in SU’s health and exercise science

program, focusing on physical therapy preparation. Then, you’ll continue for an

additional three years in the doctorate of physical therapy program at SUNY. The

first year at SUNY completes the fourth year of the B.S. degree in health and exercise

science at SU and counts toward the doctorate. A separate application to SUNY is

required to be enrolled in the 3+3 DPT “fast track” program. Visit soe.syr.edu/academic/

exercise_science for more information and application deadlines.

BEyond LECTurE hALLS and labs, the exercise science classrooms include four gymnasiums, racquetball/squash courts, two indoor pools, dance studios, tennis courts, weight rooms, and various indoor and outdoor athletic fields. Students are familiar with new equipment and technology, which make them adaptable to the demands of the professional world.

Selected Studies in Education If you’re drawn to an education career outside the traditional classroom, consider a

degree in selected studies in education. This program covers such fields as educational

media, international education, counseling, instructional design, evaluation, higher

education, child advocacy and youth programming, education and family law,

museum studies, and disability studies. Selected studies in education does not lead to

teacher certification. However, the program’s coursework opens the door to graduate

programs in teaching, counseling, higher education, and related fields. You may

choose one track:

Cultural Foundations of American Schooling: Schooling and diversityYou may decide on this area if you wish to work with youth in non-schooling settings or are interested in working in educational media or public policy settings with a focus on public schooling.

Pre-Teaching: Study of Teaching, Learning, and InclusionThis focus allows you to explore teaching as a potential field of study at the graduate level, along with exploring other aspects of the field of education.

Education, Technology, and MediaYou will learn about educational uses of technology, popular culture, and media production in this specialty track.

Physical Activity: Sport, Coaching, and recreationThis focus is for students who want to pursue coaching athletes with and without disabilities; officiating sports; personal training; strength/conditioning coaching; teaching/coaching youth sports and fitness in non-school settings; sport or fitness entrepreneur; and a teaching career at a future point.

Post-Secondary and human Services FieldsYou will be introduced to the general study of human and social services in public and private human service agencies and organizations. Channel your degree into graduate studies in the fields of counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, psychology, youth advocacy, and higher education.

At Syracuse University, situated high on a hill overlooking the City of Syracuse, you’ll enjoy the best of two worlds. It’s large enough to offer a wide array of academic programs, student organizations and performing arts groups, and a Division I athletics program. But it’s also small enough to ensure that you’ll easily feel at home within the intimate community of your home college. SU students come from all 50 states and more than 130 countries, and they choose from among more than 200 majors and 100 minors offered in SU’s undergraduate schools and colleges. Regardless of your major or your home college, you’ll build lasting relationships with like-minded peers and mentoring faculty members.

On Main Campus, you’ll find a mix of classic and contemporary academic buildings and a sweeping Quad where you can enjoy lunch, toss a Frisbee, or just stretch out on the grass for a little idle skygazing. Residential housing is provided either on Main Campus or on South Campus, the latter of which is located about a mile away and served by a free shuttle. There are also living and learning communities to promote connections with your classmates around common interests. Most of SU’s 21 residence halls are equipped with lounge space, laundry rooms, and recreation space. Many also have a computer lab, café, or exercise area. Wireless capabilities are available in most locations across campus. At mealtime, you can choose from five residential dining centers,

two student centers with dining services, numerous cafés, and two campus groceries. Outside of class, you can choose from more than 300 student organizations, including performing arts groups; sports teams; and student-run print, radio, and broadcast media, to name a few. Work out, swim, or join a pickup basketball game at one of our recreation facilities; take in a concert or lecture at Hendricks Chapel; or get involved in any number of service opportunities through the Mary Ann Shaw Center for Public and Community Service. Opportunities for involvement extend into the community as well, with the University-city Connective Corridor initiative linking the campus with downtown galleries, museums, theaters, music venues, and cultural festivals.

Campus Life

The mini-metropolis of Syracuse, New York, fuses distinctive neighborhoods, year-round festivals, parks, professional sports, destination shopping, and a thriving art, music, and social scene. View American impressionism at the Everson Museum of Art. Hike the trails at Green Lakes State Park. Browse the shops in historic Armory Square. You’ll soon find that the University campus and city community are deeply intertwined. You can take classes downtown at SU’s modern Warehouse building, which houses community art spaces and a creative problem-solving lab. You may also want

to join faculty, staff, and other students as they work with the city on planning the Connective Corridor, a three-mile urban design project that links the University with the city’s cultural attractions. Beyond the community, you may be tempted to take a road trip. Just down the road are the Finger Lakes. Venture north to ski, hike, or gaze at the Adirondack Mountains. Explore the area’s landscape, and you’ll soon discover the city and region’s distinctive character and robust spirit. Join other Central New Yorkers in capturing the energy of each of the four seasons: brilliant

color displays in fall, snowy ski trails in winter, flower-filled parks in spring, and balmy beaches in summer. Come see for yourself.
