Learn About School of Education

A child’s time in the classroom echoes throughout every aspect of their lives. It is our shared responsibility to provide strong role models in schools—and that starts with offering you training in breaking barriers and opening minds. During a time when the  teacher shortage has reached crisis levels, the need to reach students from every background has never been greater.

That’s why our goal is to prepare competent, confident, and conscientious educational leaders who will promote and empower personal growth, academic success, and professional achievement for all.
