College of Education (MU)
The year 2008 marks the college’s 140th anniversary. Our first mission was to prepare teachers for public schools. Today, we tackle the many issues in education by preparing experts for each field, including: counseling; school leadership; school psychology; library science; educational policy; special education; educational technology; teacher preparation. Our goal is to prepare future professionals how to truly make a difference through academic programming, research and discovery, and service to the broader community.
