Fort Valley State University

Welcome to the College of Education. We are excited that you are interested in the educator preparation program at Fort Valley State University. Presently, we have been approved to offer majors in Middle Grades Education undergraduate and graduate, Agriculture Education, undergraduate and post-baccalaureate, Early Childhood / Special Education undergraduate, and School Counseling. Other programs proposed for approval in the near future are Early Childhood / Special Education graduate, Health and Physical Education, Family and Consumer Sciences Education, and an MAT degree in the secondary teaching areas.

We are in the process of designing cutting-edge educator preparation programs that will meet and exceed the standards of our accrediting agencies. The College of Education is committed to the preparation of “proficient educators” who are competent in content, pedagogy, and technology, as well as educators who possess a caring disposition while understanding and appreciating diversity. This commitment is implemented through our partnerships with the College of Arts and Sciences and area public schools.

If you are searching for a program that will nurture you as well as provide the knowledge and skills necessary for an effective teacher; Fort Valley State University’s College of Education is the right choice for you. As the new dean of the new College of Education, I am personally excited about the pledge and commitment we make to our students. However, the best proof we can offer you regarding the effectiveness of our graduates is for you to read what they have to say about their preparation at Fort Valley State University. Soon, you will be able to link to a site and see what our graduates say about our programs.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
