It is my pleasure to welcome you to the College of Education’s Web site. We encourage you to explore this site and learn about our dynamic faculty, students and staff. As opportunities emerge early on during the term, also familiarize yourself with the state-of-the art facilities and programs of study offered through the College of Education that are specifically designed to prepare the next generation of professional educators. We are confident that the content knowledge, skills and dispositions available to you at Eastern Michigan University are “cutting edge” and we continue to strive to meet national and “world-class standards.”
In the College of Education, you will find a comprehensive listing of graduate and undergraduate programs leading to certification as teachers, counselors and administrators in schools. We also offer a doctoral in Educational Leadership that prepares individuals for key roles in PreK-12 sites as well as positions in higher education. In addition to the national recognition received from our numerous specialized professional associations (spas), the College is nationally accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). As the largest producer of professional educators in the nation, we take great delight in knowing that our national recognitions and accreditations insure that our College is among the best producer of professional educators in the country.
The College of Education serves the needs of the State and beyond as it is designed to meet lifelong professional development needs of leaders in various disciplines of education. We are privileged to have an exceptional faculty as evidenced by their excellence in teaching, nationally disseminated publications and community service.
