Established in 1932, the School of Education is comprised of three departments which are home to nearly 30 different programs. Across all programs, we strive for excellence through the efforts of our total learning community, including students, faculty, staff, administration, and community based colleagues. The Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling offers graduate degrees at the Masters and doctoral levels in Educational Leadership and Counseling and Guidance. School of Education programs are designed to address both state and national standards of excellence. The University of Montana is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.
Excellence is truly a part of our mission.
