The members of the York College Department of Education believe the quintessential challenge in education is the quality preparation of candidates for the teaching profession.  To achieve this goal, we help our students to develop as critical thinkers and keen decision makers who are skilled in the principles of human growth and development, and receptive to change and innovation. We work to develop strategy-based educators who empower their students with knowledge, skills and attitudes to become lifelong learners. Just as important, we educate future teachers who are committed to their own lifelong learning.

The Department is home to these academic programs:
