It continues this tradition of preparing professionals and leaders in education, sport, business, government, and health through programs in four academic departments: Educational Administration and Human Resource Development (EAHR), Educational Psychology (EPSY), Health and Kinesiology (HLKN), and Teaching, Learning and Culture (TLAC).
The college manages programs for the preparation of certified school personnel as well as human service professionals in the private sector, state and community agencies.

Students interested in any elementary, middle school or secondary certification programs are responsible for meeting with a college advisor. Advisors have specific information available regarding all program options.
The College of Education and Human Development is required by Federal policy to make available the summary report of students’ scores on the TExES examination. This information is available from the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
