Department of Education

The Department of Education prepares aspiring teachers and education professionals through a sequence of coursework grounded in developmental psychology, curriculum design, and inclusive pedagogy. A yearlong student teaching practicum in partner schools gives candidates extensive classroom experience before graduation. The department's combined BS/MS track supports students pursuing state licensure alongside a master's degree.
