College of Education

Involvement is the watchword in the College of Education! All degree programs provide relevant, supervised on and off campus internships, practicums, or clinical and field experiences which link classroom learning with professional exploration. When on campus, students have an opportunity to work side-by-side with nationally and regionally recognized faculty scholars. Depending on the field of study, students experience challenges in such diverse settings as public schools and day care centers, social and human services agencies, and recreational centers. Study and travel abroad programs as well as faculty and student exchange programs add an international dimension to the Morehead State experience.

Teaching. The College of Education is the primary academic unit for the Teacher Education Program and teacher certification, offering both undergraduate and graduate degree programs, including a cooperative doctoral program through the University of Kentucky. Advanced programs for certified teachers include a Fifth Year Program, Education Specialist degree and Rank I option in select fields. Recognition of program excellence is reflected through full accreditation of all appropriate College of Education programs.
