The Wayne State University College of Education, founded in 1881, began as a teacher’s college and has since grown to offer award-winning, nationally recognized bachelor's, master's, education specialist, and doctoral degrees. Over the past 20 years, the college has expanded to include programs in various divisions, such as Kinesiology, Health and Sport Studies, Theoretical and Behavioral Foundations, and Administrative and Organizational Studies. Today, we are proud to educate nearly 4,000 students annually.
All our programs emphasize diversity, innovation, technology, and research-based practices. Our professors are leaders in their fields, dedicated to high standards and nurturing students’ success. The College of Education is a vibrant, diverse community of distinguished students, scholars, and staff. It is fully aligned with Wayne State’s vision as a premier public research university known for academic and research excellence, student success, and meaningful engagement within its urban community.
