Department Profile

The Department of Education at Coe prepares around 30-40 preservice teachers each year to enter the field as art, elementary, music, physical education and secondary teachers. We believe that the most effective preparation for teaching is one that combines a liberal arts education with courses in the theory and practice of teaching. Our students gain practical experience in applying professional and general education through over 120 hours of field experiences prior to student teaching, methods coursework and, if pursuing licensure, through their student teaching experience.
