Welcome to the College of Education website.

The College of Education was established in 1921 and is the second oldest professional school at The University of Akron. One of Ohio's three largest teacher educator preparation programs, the College is designated a "successful college of education" by the Ohio Department of Education. As a community of professionals, we prepare Educators as Decision Makers through standard-setting programs that enhance teaching, learning, and human development; research and inquiry; and outreach. We are committed to these core components of professional practice and scholarship: Knowledge, Technology, Diversity, and Ethics. The College operates seven centers and more than 40 collaborative arrangements with state and local organizations and agencies. Our faculty and students provide important leadership for campus and community initiatives and are active in state, national, and international settings to further the University and College missions.
