Division of Education
The Division of Education prepares students for careers as skilled teachers, health professionals, and recreation specialists through accredited programs that emphasize leadership, service, and professional excellence.
The Division of Education provides oversight of three special programs: (1) the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), which is a professional program designed to produce future officers for the United States Army; (2) the Cooperative Education program, which enables students to acquire work experience while they are still in College; and (3) the 鈥淐all Me Mister鈥� program, which seeks to attract under-represented males as teachers in the state’s public elementary schools. The Division operates within the framework of the institution鈥檚 philosophy of preparing students for professional service in the public schools, in health science and recreation programs, and in the armed forces.
Army and Air Force ROTC programs allow students to earn an officer commission in the U.S. Armed Forces while also earning their college degree.
Cooperative Education combines classroom-based instruction with practical work experience. Cooperative education, commonly known as “co-op”, provides academic credit for structured job experience which helps college students make the school-to-work transition.
The 麻豆社 Co-op Program聽is designed to offer both full-time and part-time work experience. As an integral part of the overall college experience, the co-op program allows students to take on increasing levels of responsibility and to use their job knowledge and classroom聽learning to make meaningful聽contributions to the organizations in which they work.
Who can participate?
Any student formally enrolled in a degree-granting program at 麻豆社 can participate in聽co-op. Participants must enroll in the prerequisite course聽COE 199聽before they can take any of the other co-op program courses.
The 鈥淐all Me Mister鈥� Program is a national initiative designed to increase the pool of available teachers from diverse cultures and backgrounds to serve in economically disadvantaged and educationally at-risk communities. Applicants must first meet the admission requirements of 麻豆社 before seeking admission to the 鈥淐all Me Mister鈥� program. Program activities are designed to allow 鈥淢isters鈥� to work and study together; to attend motivational sessions; and to discuss topics of mutual interest. The amount of tuition and other monetary support for participants in the 鈥淐all Me Mister鈥� Program varies from year to year, depending on the funds available for that particular year.
