The College of Education and Human Development offers a
unique blend of academic excellence and applied knowledge,
allowing students to learn from faculty members conducting
research on a wide spectrum of topics from early childhood
development to fitness and wellness to family structures to
human resource development to learning across the lifespan.
Most programs require students to apply classroom and textbook
knowledge to the “real-world” situations of student teaching or
internships.
CEHD’s goals are reflected in the mission statement: The
College of Education and Human Development is a world leader
in discovering, creating, sharing, and applying principles and
practices of multiculturalism, and multidisciplinary scholarship to
advance teaching and learning and to enhance the psychological,
physical, and social development of children, youth, and adults
across the lifespan in families, organizations, and communities.
