University and College of Education Basics
The College of Education is "creating a legacy of learning." The development of educated persons is the University's underlying commitment that compels us to provide the highest quality teaching, research and service to our students and community. No other institution has a greater legacy or prouder tradition associated with the preparation of professional educators than does MSU. Students have come to MSU to prepare for careers in education - teaching, administration, counseling and a number of specialties since 1905. The cycle of MSU graduates becoming teachers of future teachers has repeated itself many times over the past one hundred years.
