Learning and Instruction Overview

The Department of Learning and Instruction, which is known as LAI, is devoted to educating teachers and conducting research related to all areas of teaching and learning. The department offers an Education minor, which is open to all undergraduates. It provides an opportunity for UB undergraduate students to explore general educational issues and careers that span different aspects of education. The minor itself does not lead directly to initial teacher certification; however, there are particular courses that allow for a head start on the coursework needed and offered through the University at Buffalo’s graduate-level initial and initial/professional teacher certification programs.

For more information on which courses allow for a head start in the graduate level teacher certification programs, please contact the UB Office of Educator Preparation (375 Baldy Hall, ubedprep@buffalo.edu).

Academic Advising

The Graduate School of Education provides academic advising to students applying and to those admitted to the UBTEACH programs or education minors.
