- Outstanding teachers: In teaching evaluations, School of Education faculty consistently receive the highest score among all USF colleges and schools.
- Diverse student body: The typical School of Education student is either an experienced professional returning to school for additional coursework and experience, or a career changer hoping to break into a new field via a credential, master’s or doctoral program.
When you enroll in a School of Education program, you:
- join a supportive and rigorous learning community committed to student success;
