The College of Education is a community of current and emerging helping professionals – classroom teachers, special educators, librarians, counselors, school psychologists, and school leaders – who are committed to excellence, impact, and continuous improvement.

Southern Connecticut State University, itself, began as an institution to prepare teachers – New Haven State Teachers College. Although Southern has both grown in size and expanded in scope to also prepare individuals for careers in healthcare and business, among other fields, we in the College of Education are proud to continue doing the enormously important work for which our institution was founded.
