All of these departments are engaged in graduate programs leading
to master's, specialist's, and/or doctoral degrees. The Department
of Curriculum and Instruction and the Department of Specialized Education
Services offer undergraduate degrees as well; their Bachelor of Science
programs prepare students for Class "A" licensure in North
Carolina. Undergraduate majors are available in Elementary and Middle
Grades Education, Education of Deaf Children, and Special Education.
The School of Education also supports programs in teacher education
conducted under the auspices of other schools (Music; Health and Human
Performance; Human Environmental Sciences; Bryan School of Business
and Economics) and departments within the College of Arts and Sciences
by responding to course requirements in the areas of social, philosophical,
and psychological foundations, methodology, and curriculum and student
teaching. Recent emphases in competency-based curricula and individualized
programming contribute to new designs of teacher education programs.
All licensure programs for school personnel are approved by the North
Carolina State Department of Public Instruction and accredited by
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The
School of Education continues to seek realization of its goals as
a professional school to create and disseminate new knowledge in professional
education, to engage in field services and apply research findings,
to prepare practitioners, and to study the profession. A general discussion
of Teacher Education may be found in Teacher
Education Programs.
Departments of
the School of Education are listed below with their respective faculties.
