We prepare students to succeed and lead in their careers and communities.
Teaching, whether it’s early childhood, elementary, middle-level, special education or physical education, requires passion – and preparation. Our faculty will develop you into the kind of teacher who positively shapes lives. Our programs also prepare counselors, librarians, principals and superintendents.
Our graduates harness instructional technology, crunch test data, reshape curriculum and understand how human beings learn. Other alumni are helping people to reach their full physical potential. These success stories result from our college's focus on high-quality teaching, rigorous research and engaged service through programs grounded in engaged learning experiences.
Join us to start – or advance – your impact on the world!
