Education
"The education department at UE is great. The education and atmosphere here cannot be replicated anywhere else."

Education students at the University of Evansville learn to teach by spending a considerable amount of time in local schools, even before student teaching. As an education student, you will be in a K-12 classroom your very first semester with continuing field placements each year. Majoring in education at the University of Evansville prepares you to teach the right way—by doing it!
Here are five good reasons to major in education at the University of Evansville:
Beginning your first week, you'll be in the schools gaining real teaching experience. In fact, by the time you graduate from UE you will have spent 1,000 hours in school classrooms.
You'll learn from faculty who have on average 17 years of teaching experience in the grade, middle and high schools. That compares to a national average of two to three years.
You'll be part of a program that has been educating teachers since 1871, and has had National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) certification since the 1950s.
100 percent of last year's education graduates were employed in the teaching field.
The education curriculum is rigorous, relevant and designed to apply to contemporary classrooms.
