Our institution offers specialized programs for aspiring teachers through various licensure tracks, along with community-focused education initiatives like our Child and Family Services program. Graduates from our programs are making significant impacts as educators across the state. We continuously update our curriculum to align with state requirements and address the evolving needs of our community partners. Under Dr. Murley's leadership, we've transitioned to a full-year Residency program, replacing the traditional single-semester student teaching model, to better equip our graduates for their first day as classroom teachers. Our philosophy centers on the principle that exceptional educators emerge from exceptional training - a standard upheld by our dedicated faculty and staff. We view education as a collaborative endeavor that involves every member of our community.
