Pioneering new ideas. Innovative programs. Exacting best methods. The College of Education and Human Services at Central Michigan University is a leader on the state and national scene in the fields of teacher preparation, education administration, recreation, and human environmental studies. Its mission is to provide the highest quality undergraduate and graduate educational experiences that develop effective professionals, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. Students will expand their understanding of themselves and their roles in a diverse and global society. Through a broad range of technological and human services, the College and its graduates, in collaboration with the constituencies they serve, will be proactive forces for improving the quality of life in the twenty-first century. The College’s dynamic departments include: Teacher Education and Professional Development: Teacher Education produces 700 new teachers each year, training them with the most effective, cutting-edge techniques. Educators are increasingly expected to be savvy users of new technologies, skilled collaborators, problem solvers, and outcome-oriented practitioners. They must be well prepared in their academic disciplines, exhibit best practices in teaching, and be equipped to accommodate a diverse student body. Teacher education develops students into effective professionals, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. Counseling and Special Education: The study of Counseling and Special Education provides students with a knowledge and understanding of individual differences, life span issues, and how to effectively work with others. The programs offered emphasize working with clients and students as individuals within a group setting and serving them throughout the life span. All programs provide experiential applications for students. Educational Leadership: The Department of Educational Leadership offers a full range of graduate programs to prepare individuals for effective performance in roles as educational leaders in schools, communities, and institutions of higher education. Students develop on a continuum from scholar-practitioner to practitioner-scholar. Programs, scholarship, and service, infused with humanism and diversity, are based upon theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Services: As the fourth largest program of its kind in the United States, Recreation, Parks and Leisure Services leads the way in preparing professionals for Michigan’s fastest growing industry - hospitality. Students are trained to help others to utilize leisure time intelligently. As recreation and park administration personnel, they contribute immeasurably to an improved quality of life for others through creative and well-planned use of leisure time. Human Environmental Studies: The Department of Human Environmental Studies provides leadership in areas that directly affect children, families, individuals and groups within their increasingly complex social, psychological, economic, designed, and cultural environments. Departmental programs emphasize the building of collaborative partnerships with a wide range of local and national constituents to engage students in meaningful and relevant interaction and encourage the generation of new knowledge through research. Graduates enjoy opportunities in a variety of careers in early childhood services, family therapy, dietetics, health care, food science, retail management, product development, apparel design, interior design, and research.
