Undergraduate Education Programs

The tradition of Siena University requires broad training in the liberal arts as well as a concentration in a major field of study. The Education Department’s goal is to enable educators to acquire the professional knowledge base and competencies characteristic of effective teaching. Through our goal of preparing teachers well-grounded in the professional knowledge base and the Franciscan liberal arts tradition, the mission of the Education Department reflects the mission of Siena. Within this framework, students develop the skills of critical thinking and expression as well as empathy and concern for all individuals.
