Department of Education

Introduction

The Department of Education falls under the College of Education. Rather than being a typical subject, Education is a true academic scholarship that deals with values and asks the question of what must be learned to become a teacher.

Although we provide courses covering both academic and practical aspects of teaching, we are aware of the practical constraints of implementation. We strive to prepare qualified teachers through the collaboration of professors and students. This department will continue to lead by example at the College of Education.
