Dean's Message

Welcome to the College of Education and Human Sciences. I am very pleased that you have chosen our college as a place to either begin your academic career or to continue it through one of our eight undergraduate and six graduate degree programs.  Our college contains the Department of Education, Department of Health and Kinesiology and the Department of Psychology & Family Studies.

Our goal is for you to be successful in your educational pursuits. Whether you want to be a teacher, an exercise scientist, a psychologist, a specialist in family life, a physical or occupational therapist, or a school administrator -- we have a program for you.

Our teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE); a distinction held by fewer than 600 programs across the country.  Our program in Family Studies prepares students to receive the Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE) designation from the National Council on Family Relations.

We are proud of the hands-on nature of our programs. If you are studying to become a teacher, you will be immersed in school experiences from your first professional courses to student teaching. We also have opportunities for hands-on learning for our psychology and family studies majors in local agency settings and clinics.  We also have excellent hands-on experiences in the Human Performance Lab for exercise science students.  We also provide excellent hands-on learning experiences in all of our graduate programs.

Our distinguished faculty and professional advisors stand ready to assist you in your academic pursuits. We want to help you become part of our story here at MUW.

Please feel free to contact me at hjenkins@muw.edu if I can be of help to you.
