Welcome to the Teacher Education Unit (TEU) website. The TEU at Buffalo State consists of 76 graduate and undergraduate education programs, as well as approximately 110 full-time education faculty. Because faculty and programs are housed in all Schools that make up Buffalo State, governance of the TEU resides in the Council of Deans, a body that oversees all TEU programs and faculty and serves as "unit head" for accreditation purposes.
Those interested in teacher education on the Buffalo State campus should find what they are looking for on this website. If, for some reason you are unable to do so, please feel free to contact any of the members of the Council of Deans listed below.
Thank you for your interest in teacher education at Buffalo State.
