Introduction

The College of Education's mission is to create and nurture a learning and teaching community committed to equity and excellence in education. We fulfill our purpose by preparing professional educators and practioners who promote equity and excellence in diverse urban settings through pedogogy evidence-based practices, collaboration, leadership, innovation, scholarship, and advocacy.

The College provides undergraduate and graduate studies in education through three departments -- Liberal Studies, Teacher Education, and Advanced Studies in Education and Counseling – and one university-wide program – the Single Subject Credential Program. Curriculum in college programs focuses on the preparation of personnel for teaching and educational service in pre-school settings, elementary, middle and high schools, community colleges, adult programs, and other educational agencies. Descriptions that include prerequisites and requirements for each credential, certificate, and degree program are listed in this catalog in the department that houses the particular program. Doctoral program information is included at the end of this section.

College programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the State Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).
