Welcome!

The college is an exciting place to be during this exciting time in teaching and learning. If you are committed to helping others, there is a place for you in the broad field of education.
The college is nationally recognized for its innovative approach in providing exemplary programs to prepare highly qualified teachers, school administrators, counselors, and deaf studies professionals. The college traditionally ranks as one of the largest colleges of education in California, yet offers small classes and personal attention. We are known for our strong sense of community within the college, as well as for our expert faculty and our cutting edge programming.

Underlying all our activities is the belief that all students have the capacity for success and that it is our role to prepare educators who can support all types of learners. In this same spirit, we have developed multiple pathways to meet the diverse needs of college of education students seeking to become teachers or other school personnel. We also have an array of non-school programs for individuals in professions or agencies that enhance children, adolescents, adults, and families.
The college has extensive partnerships with community schools and agencies to provide meaningful student teaching, practicum and internship experiences supervised by faculty in the departments of Deaf Studies, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Educational Psychology and Counseling, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, and Special Education, and offers 27 credential programs. All programs are accredited.
We look forward to having you join the Michael D. Eisner College of Education Community!
