College of EducationGeneral InformationThe College of Education is an upper division college and graduate professional school that prepares teachers, administrators, and other education personnel; provides professional development for teachers and other educational and related professionals; provides information for understanding educational issues to school and community groups; and conducts basic and applied research concerning issues in education. The college is the only institution in the state to hold national accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The college is committed to integrating technology in its educational programs to ensure that Hawai‘i’s educators are prepared to use technology to enhance instruction and learning, ensuring that all educators are prepared to work with diverse populations of students including those with special needs, and fostering the skills and abilities of graduates to assume leadership roles in education in service to the state and region. Graduates of the Bachelor of Education (BEd) Program are recommended by the College of Education for initial teacher licensure in elementary or secondary education to the Hawai‘i Teacher Standards Board. The BEd in elementary education provides optional additional areas of preparation in early childhood education, Hawaiian education, and special education.

The college offers teacher education and advanced professional development programs for all of the state’s neighbor islands. Courses offered through distance programs include interactive video, internet, and hybrid formats. Most distance programs operate in a cohort system, meaning that students enroll as a group (cohort) and remain in the program together until completion.

The college also offers two PhD degrees, the PhD in Education with seven specializations, and the PhD in educational psychology.
