College of Education. Pacific University.

Pacific University College of Education

At Pacific, we believe nothing is more important than helping children to see all the possibilities the world holds for them. We believe nothing is more rewarding than the struggling student who triumphs because he knows his teacher cares. We believe nothing is more valuable than a teacher's gift for igniting the love of learning. Because of these beliefs we have infused all our programs with the key elements of our College of Education mission: "Transforming education through communities of learners, with a focus on promoting cultural competence, creating student-centered classrooms, and enhancing learning through technology."

When you join one of our learning communities you will experience faculty and staff members who are committed to supporting and challenging you to be prepared as exceptional teachers in a rapidly changing world. We'll assist you towards the goal of transforming the lives of your students. Our dynamic education programs are highly respected by school district leaders in Oregon and across the country. We will provide you with the theoretical foundation, practical knowledge, skills, and experience you need to be a professional educator in your chosen specialty.

We are committed to increasing our sphere of influence and deepening our commitment to quality. Thus, our licensure programs are approved by the Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) and our degree programs are accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). Further, the College of Education is a candidate (March 2008) for national accreditation by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
