The Whitlowe R. Green College of Education has a legacy of producing some of the nation’s most distinguished teachers, counselors, principals, diagnosticians and superintendents. Our undergraduate teacher education programs prepare candidates for positions in public and private schools as well as in other institutional or organizational settings that promote the educational development and well-being of culturally diverse children and youth.
