The VU Education Department is committed to providing education students with extensive field experiences beginning in the sophomore year and always including significant experience with minority populations. Our students take their commitment one step further by their involvement in Kappa Delta Pi, National Education Honor Society, and VU's Student Advisory Board, which offers students' perspectives on education curriculum. The quality of the Education faculty greatly enhances student experience. These faculty members remain at the cutting edge of education issues through their participation in task forces and advsory committees of state and national professional and accrediting organizations. The departmental goal to integrate computers into all aspects of the curriculum also strengthens teacher preparation.
Students achieve their individual goals through strong curricula and advising.
