The Center for Urban Education and the Field Placement Office in the School of Education support a variety of preservice teacher field experience opportunities in Syracuse and New York City.

Some of the most exciting and rewarding teaching positions are in New York City.  The School of Education is actively working with the NYC Board of Education to obtain student teaching placements and housing for Oswego candidates. The SUNY Urban Teacher Education Center (SUTEC) assists Oswego candidates who wish to fulfill their student teaching requirements in New York City schools, and serves as a vital resource for research on urban education.

The NYC Board of Education's "Summer in the City" program is available to SUNY Oswego education majors.  This 7-week annual summer program provides a $2,000 tax-free stipend and housing for juniors and seniors willing to work as interns in the NYC Board of Education summer school programs.

International Student Teaching Placements – SUNY Oswego has partnerships with two overseas academic institutions where education majors can do their student teaching.  In Australia, students select placements at ACU National in Sydney and in Great Britain, students select placements at Edge Hill College in Ormskirk. Specific information on these programs is available in the C&I Advisement Center (102 Wilber Hall, 315-312-5461) and the Office of International Education & Programs (211 Culkin Hall, 315-312-2118),
