Departments

The College of Education includes three departments, each with a unique perspective and approach to the art and science of education.

Do you want to shape the future? Our three distinctive departments are committed to preparing tomorrow's education leaders, innovators and advocates. With a focus on inclusive and equitable practices, we'll give you the tools to create meaningful change and cultivate lifelong learning in your community and beyond.

Our Departments

Education and Leadership

We offer California-accredited programs to prepare you for the classroom, whether you want to teach elementary school, high school or special education. Our master’s degrees in education, school psychology and speech-language pathology take your career to the next level.
