College of EducationGeneral InformationThe College of Education (COE) prepares teachers, administrators, and other education personnel; provides professional development for teachers and other educational and related professionals; disseminates information for understanding educational issues to school and community groups; and conducts basic and applied research concerning issues in education. The college holds national accreditation by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. The college is committed to preparing all educators to work with diverse populations of students, including those with special needs, to ensuring that Hawai'i's educators are prepared to use technology to enhance instruction and learning, and to 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 who meet licensing requirements may be recommended by the College of Education to the Hawai'i Teacher Standards Board for initial teacher licensure in elementary or secondary education. The BEd in elementary education provides optional additional areas of preparation in early childhood education, Hawaiian education, and special education. State approved teacher education programs in secondary education and special education for post-baccalaureate students are offered. Candidates in the Master of Education in Teaching (MEdT) program who meet licensing requirements may be recommended by the college for initial teacher licensure in elementary or secondary areas. The college offers teacher education and advanced professional development programs statewide. Courses offered through distance programs include interactive video, web-based, 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. For more information on distance programs, contact individual departments, or visit the college website at coe.hawaii.edu/academics/online. The college also offers Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Programs in kinesiology and rehabilitation science, various Master of Education degrees, two PhD degrees, the PhD in Education with seven specializations, and the PhD in educational psychology, and one EdD degree in Professional Educational Practice.
