Show THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Caseel D. Burke, Dean The School of Education includes the departments of Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Family Life, Health, Physical Education and Recreation, and Library Science. It accepts the general goals of the College and makes every effort to implement them. In addition, it recognizes its specific responsibility for providing college students with constructive learning experiences within the fields it encompasses. The personal development of college students is a major concern in the School of Education. Whether it be the students' health, physical fitness or coordination ; their dress, manners, or appearance; their intellectual habits and practices; or their ideals and values, the goal is the development of well-integrated human beings. The development of wholesome and constructive interpersonal relations also is a matter which receives special attention. The skills and attitudes of constructive family life are fostered in students, as well as are the qualities of group leadership and guidance required of the teacher and others in positions of public influence. A strong commitment is held toward helping college students become leaders of youth. Whether their future work is to be on the playgrounds or courts, in nurseries or in the home as parents, or in the study halls or classrooms, a sincere effort is made to help the students acquire the judgment, the skills, the techniques, and the attitudes which will be used to motivate and lead young people toward excellence. The School of Education is concerned with bringing about the optimum development of the individual that he may lead a personally happy and productive life, and that he may make his greatest possible contribution to the welfare of his fellowmen. Students completing baccalaureate programs in the School will be granted either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degree.
