Partnerships

Partnership Programs Forge Pathways into Education and Counseling Careers

Partnership programs with local universities provide a guided — and sometimes accelerated — pathway for you to prepare for a career in education and counseling by earning a bachelor’s degree at a partnering local institution and a master’s degree at the Warner School.

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Partnership

Through this partnership, as an undergraduate student in RIT’s College of Liberal Arts, you can:

• Complete your master’s degree in teaching in 15 months.
• Benefit from tuition scholarships.
• Take education classes at Warner that count toward your teaching, higher education or counseling master's program while you are finishing your degree at RIT.
• Streamline your admissions experience between RIT and Warner.
• Take advantage of coordinated academic advising between RIT and Warner.
• Benefit from individual support throughout the teacher certification process.
