Education courses are taught by an interdisciplinary faculty,including professors from the Departments of English,Mathematics, and Psychology.
The Weissman School of Arts and Sciences offers a minor in education. The minor is designed to acquaint students with the theoretical, psychological, and sociocultural issues involved in education. Since Baruch no longer offers an accredited education program, any education credits taken at Baruch after spring 2001 may not count toward the professional education credits needed for New York State Teacher Certification. However, the minor provides significant depth in important issues in the field. Additional questions regarding the minor should be directed to Roberta Kessler, coordinator of teacher education, at (646) 312-3890.
