About the College
Mission and Goals
The organizational structure and mission of the College of Education at Tennessee Tech has evolved since the beginning of the University in 1915, when teacher education was one of the early recognized functions. Currently the College of Education is divided into five separate departments. The academic departments are Academic Development Program, Counseling and Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, Exercise Science, Physical Education and Wellness, and Music and Art. Our college is broader than a traditional college of education. Thus, we have five missions, which are:
1. Prepare caring, competent professionals for a diverse, technological society through the three domains of performance, dispositions and knowledge.
2. Provide high quality preparation programs for undergraduate and graduate studies.
3. Provide a model of an early childhood development laboratory.
4. Provide cultural events through the Upper Cumberland, the state and the region.
5. Provide opportunities for professional development and resources to benefit the Tennessee Technological University service area.
