Department Head: Dr. Linda Mitchell, lmitchell@jsu.edu
The Department of Teacher Education is responsible for graduate programs that serve current teachers who want to further their education through our traditional master's programs. Additionally, we have other programs for current teachers and we encourage interested teachers to review our programs and reach out to us with any questions.
We also serve those individuals who hold a degree in areas other than education, but who have decided that they would like to teach. Our Alternative-A master's programs are designed to enable a person with a bachelor's degree to gain both teacher and certification and a master's degree in their chosen education field and most students in these programs begin teaching while they are finishing their degree.
