In addition to its private endowment, it also enjoys a sizable state allocation. Alfred University is located in a rural setting.

During the 2023-2024 school year, the overall student enrollment was 2,222, with 1553 undergraduate students and 669 graduate students. 100% of traditional, full-time undergraduate students are offered financial aid at Alfred University, and 37.6% are eligible for Pell Grants. © Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation – 2025 1 Teacher Education at Alfred University dates back to the University's founding in 1836 , when it was established as a normal school to train teachers for the new American nation. 189 years later, our mission remains a function of our context and setting. Situated in an isolated rural region at the northernmost tip of Appalachia. Allegany County—which ranks 60th in per capita income among New York’s 62 counties—is home to Alfred University.

Our programs include: 2. Early Childhood/Childhood Education is offered both here and at SUNY Corning (Birth to grade six) 3.

We strive to make an Alfred education and a teaching career accessible to students who may not have had the same opportunities elsewhere. Our partnership with Corning has made a career in teaching accessible to a variety of non-traditional and first-generation college students for a decade now. The Alfred University Division of Education prepares transformative educators through a rigorous integration of theory and intensive field-based practice. Rooted in the belief that all students can and will learn, we cultivate resilient teachers who take personal ownership of student outcomes. Through a cycle of continuous practice, feedback, and reflection, we develop Outside of Ordinary teachers committed to equity, academic excellence, and the success of every P-12 learner. In meeting this mission, the following themes are embedded throughout the program: ● Cultivating teaching excellence through a growth mindset.
