As one of the original colleges at SIU, the School of Education has been shaping the educators who make a difference in the world. In addition to being a leader in off-campus and online education, programs and initiatives in the school continually earn national recognition. Students enjoy the best of both worlds – strong academic programs combined with hands-on field experience in real work settings.
The School includes six programs – Child and Family Services, Early Childhood, Education Administration and Higher Education, Elementary Education, Special Education, and Organizational Learning, Innovation, and Development (formerly Workforce Education and Development). The School of Education also includes the Campus-Wide Teacher Education Program.
Our School hosts several centers providing crucial services to the community and giving our students vital hands-on training. Our external grant funding, increasing by more than 70 percent in the last five years, totals more than $20 million annually. That’s nearly one-third of the total for the entire University and it’s evidence of the impact we make.
