This competency-based, professional education program prepares competent teachers for the challenges of a pluralistic society. Practical application of pedagogy begins early in the program and allows students the opportunity to begin to demonstrate the skills necessary for effective teaching. The masters degree in education or counseling prepares students from diverse backgrounds to become responsible professionals capable of delivering effective services in educational and community settings. The Thomas E. Chambers Counseling and Training Center on campus is an ideal setting for graduate interns to practice their counseling skills. The many opportunities to network and interact are provided through honorary and professional organizations such as Kappa Delta Pi , LAE-SP, Kappa Gamma Pi , and Chi Sigma Iota.
Faculty are available to discuss the various programs with prospective students.
