ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

The Department of Teaching and Learning prepares students for professional careers in education. This includes undergraduate and graduate degree, and certificate programs in elementary teaching, early childhood education, special education, secondary education, curriculum and instruction, and educational technology. To add depth of knowledge, the department provides interdisciplinary studies, working with teaching majors across campus to ensure the success of the teaching candidate.

The teacher preparation program at Indiana State University has been approved by the Indiana Department of Education and by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Graduates of Indiana State University who successfully complete the teacher licensing programs and the appropriate state-required tests may be qualified for initial practitioner teaching licenses in Indiana. Please check with the Education Student Services office for specific licensing information.

Experiential Learning
