Information for Education Students

The School of Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education at Neumann University houses education programs at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels. We believe that education is a vehicle through which all learners can become who they were created to be, and that lifelong learning is essential to individual happiness and to a progressive democratic society. Education is a transformative process that prepares all learners to actively engage in the world to promote social mobility and social justice.

Our mission is to prepare culturally responsive and sustaining educators who act as agents for change in schools and society. The educational programs at Neumann University place a strong emphasis on preparing teachers and administrators for the purpose of disrupting inequities in schools and society. Prospective teachers and administrators in our programs learn best practices that are grounded in research and are rooted in social justice. Through our programs our students have opportunities to apply leading-edge practices rooted in our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our students engage with current research and theory in their courses and bring this knowledge to life during a variety of field experiences. Prospective teachers and administrators in our programs learn evidence-based practices and employ these strategies in the field while also learning from practicing master educators.
