Welcome to the College of Education

The College of Education prepares students for careers in the education field. Through its three departments, Curriculum and Instruction (CI), Educational Administration and Psychological Services (EAPS), and Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER), the College of Education prepares teachers, principals, superintendents, school counselors, school psychologists, diagnosticians, as well as professionals in health, exercise science, sports management, recreation and leisure services. The College of Education also prepares students for careers in the mental health fields of professional counseling and marriage and family therapy.

TEACH GRANT PROGRAM

Through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007, Congress created the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant Program that provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to graduate students who intend to teach in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves students from low-income families. If, after reading all of the information on this fact sheet, you are interested in learning more about the TEACH Grant Program, you should contact the financial aid office at the college where you will be enrolled starting with the 2008-2009 school year.

The TEACH Grant program at Texas State University will be implemented during the 2008-2009 academic year for only those students working on their first master's degree. Financial Aid and Scholarships will contact eligible students in the fall. This new program was created to assist students that are seeking degrees in high-need fields and anticipate teaching in those fields at the secondary or elementary level.
