LSU's College of Education, the largest in the state, offers bachelor's degrees and—through the Graduate School—master's degrees, certificates of education specialist, and doctoral programs for more than 2,000 students each year. The college has three academic departments: Curriculum and Instruction; Educational Leadership, Research, and Counseling; and Kinesiology. The K-12 University Laboratory School comprises the fourth department in the college.

The college's primary purpose is the preparation of high-quality teachers, administrators, counselors, and human service professionals for Louisiana's elementary and secondary schools, for other colleges and universities, and for health, fitness, and sports agencies.

The college takes pride in producing graduates who are reflective in practice, actively engaged in the research tradition of the University, and at the cutting edge in using sophisticated teaching approaches for educating a diverse population in a complex and interdependent world.

Through the Graduate School, the Department of Educational Leadership, Research, and Counseling (ELRC) offers graduate programs in educational research, guidance, and educational administration.

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction (EDCI) offers undergraduate programs in elementary grades education and secondary education. Through the Graduate School, graduate programs in education and curriculum and instruction are offered. These programs prepare students for educational careers at all levels, from kindergarten through post-secondary education.

The Department of Kinesiology (KIN) provides undergraduate and graduate programs for students interested in the art and science of human movement. Undergraduate areas of concentration are sport studies, fitness studies, human movement science, and H&PE teacher certification. Graduates pursue careers in K-12 educational settings, in health and fitness programs, and in organized sports.

The University Laboratory School offers a comprehensive K-12 curriculum for more than 800 students. The school serves as a demonstration center for educational methodology, and provides for observation, research, and preservice field experiences for students and faculty of the college.

The following programs are offered by the College of Education:

The following graduate programs are offered through the Graduate School:

During the last ten years, the College of Education has been a leader in teacher education reform. Based on extensive research and practice, the college now offers three distinct ways to become certified as a teacher. Students choose from a bachelor's program, a master's program, or an alternative certification program. Regardless of the route chosen, students will find that teacher education at LSU links contemporary research and practice, focuses on preparing teachers for a culturally diverse world, provides extended experiences in a variety of educational settings, incorporates instructional technology, and prepares teachers who truly understand both children and pedagogy.

Undergraduate students who are eager to complete their education in four years may find the bachelor's program most attractive. Students in this program earn a Bachelor of Science in Education and attain Louisiana Teacher Certification in a program that combines general education, an area of focus, professional education courses, and practical experiences in 128 credit hours. The program is designed for students who know early in their college careers that they want to become teachers and who want to enter the profession immediately following receipt of the bachelor's degree. It features early connections between university-based and field-based learning and includes a full semester of professionally supervised student teaching.

Students who wish to spend extended time developing the expertise to enter the profession with an enhanced capacity for leadership may choose the master's program, that includes a full year of graduate-level professional preparation. Students earn a master's degree in education and Louisiana Teacher Certification by completing 37-43 credit hours beyond a bachelor's degree in elementary education or in secondary education. The program features extended experiences in diverse school settings, the support of peers who work together in small cohort groups, mentoring by graduate faculty, and the development of teacher-researcher skills.

Students who already hold a bachelor's degree and would like to become certified as teachers may find that the alternate certification program leading to Louisiana Teacher Certification best fits their needs. Although the program does not lead to an academic degree, it serves the needs of employed adults by building on existing degrees and experiences. Students employed as teachers may be able to take advantage of the Louisiana Tuition Exemption Program.

Programs in agricultural education, business education, home economics education, and industrial education are offered through

the School of Vocational Education in the College of Agriculture. Students prepare for nursery school-kindergarten teaching through the School of Human Ecology in the College of Agriculture. Students prepare for teaching vocal or instrumental music through the College of Music and Dramatic Arts.

Students anticipating careers in teaching, and undergraduate students pursuing a kinesiology degree, should contact the Office of Student Services, College of Education, 236 Peabody Hall, to declare their interest and to obtain additional information. The variety of routes to teacher certification and specific general education requirements necessitate early and continuous advising by the college.

Students interested in graduate programs that do not include teacher certification should contact the Graduate School.

The Office of Student Services provides all student-related services for undergraduate students in the college, master's students seeking teacher certification, and alternative certification students. The office strives to provide a single, student friendly environment designed to meet all student needs. It handles everything from student recruitment through teacher certification and alumni activities, and includes recruitment, application procedures, admissions, advising services, student records, scholarships, teacher tuition exemptions, PRAXIS information and examinations, student-related experiences (e.g. student council), degree audits, teacher certification, and alumni follow-up.

Students may enter the College of Education after 24 semester hours with a minimum 2.20 gpa. Formal admission to a specific teacher education program requires at least 75 semester hours with a 2.50 gpa and acceptable scores on the PRAXIS I Examination.

Admission of students to upper division professional education courses (3000 level and above) is restricted to students who have been formally admitted to a teacher education program. Admission to the certification program leading to the master's degree requires at least 60 semester hours with a minimum 2.75 gpa and acceptable scores on the PRAXIS Examination.

Admission to the Alternate Certification Program requires a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution with a major or other concentration in a teacher certification area, a minimum 2.50 gpa, and acceptable scores on the PRAXIS Examination.

Students in the College of Education bear final responsibility for selection of their academic programs and adherence to all published regulations and requirements of the college and the University. Each student must see a counselor for a final degree checkout during the semester prior to the semester in which the degree is to be awarded.

The College of Education reserves the right to review at any time a student's suitability to continue in a teacher education program. Faculty monitor the growth of students enrolled in the college. In addition to the University's scholastic requirements, specific retention criteria in the College of Education include the following:

All undergraduate students in the College of Education are required to:

Up to one-fourth of the number of hours required for the baccalaureate degree may be taken through the Division of Continuing Education by correspondence study. Students should not schedule correspondence course work during the final semester of their program.

A student in the College of Education may earn a minor in a second field under the following conditions:

The department offering the minor may impose additional requirements; the specific requirements of the department must be stated in the catalog. Interdisciplinary minors involving more than one department are ordinarily not approved.

To graduate with a minor in business administration, students must complete ACCT 2001, 2101 or 2021; ECON 2010 and 2020 or 2030/2031; FIN 3715; ISDS 1100; MGT 3200; MKT 3401; and one business administration elective.

To become certified as a teacher in the State of Louisiana, a student must complete all requirements for the degree and must pass all four sections of the PRAXIS Examination.

Application for student teaching must be made to the Office of Teacher Education Programs no later than two weeks following the first day of classes in the semester prior to student teaching. Late applicants cannot be guaranteed consideration.

The student teaching practicum offered each fall and spring semester is scheduled as an all-day, Monday through Friday experience. The student teaching experience consists of a minimum of 270 clock hours, 180 of which must be actual teaching. A substantial portion of the 180 clock hours in actual teaching must be on an all-day basis.

No student may schedule more than 15 credit hours of course work during the student teaching semester unless approved by the Assistant to the Dean for Teacher Preparation. Students are advised to schedule no more than 15 hours of employment during student teaching.

To be permitted to student teach, students must meet the following requirements:

Application for alternate certification internships must be made to the Assistant to the Dean for Teacher Preparation no later than August 1 prior to the academic year of the internship. The Assistant to the Dean must receive official notification of employment no later than one week following the final date for adding courses in the fall semester of the internship. Late applicants cannot be guaranteed consideration.

Internships are full-time, paid teaching positions in approved schools for a full academic year (fall-spring). Alternate certification students are responsible for securing teaching positions. See the Assistant to the Dean for further information on internship requirements and approved schools.

To be permitted to intern, students must meet the following requirements:

Students in the College of Education are encouraged to participate in the study abroad programs administered by the Office of Academic Programs Abroad. Students who participate in these programs must receive departmental evaluation of the courses to be taken. In addition, students must make an appointment with a counselor to ensure that degree credit will be granted upon return to LSU.

With the dean's approval, a student may be enrolled in two degree programs concurrently. A student can enroll as a dual registrant using one of the following procedures:

The college's Student Council includes student representatives from each department and members-at-large. The college also sponsors an honorary organization, Kappa Delta Epsilon, for teacher education students.

Phi Kappa Phi, a national scholastic honor society founded in 1897, now contains 282 chapters nationwide. It is one of the most prestigious scholastic honor societies in the U.S. The LSU chapter was founded in 1930 as the 43^rd chapter in the nation. At the present time, the national office is located on this campus in the French House.

The primary objectives of Phi Kappa Phi are to promote the pursuit of excellence in higher education and to recognize outstanding achievement by students and faculty through election to membership and through various awards and fellowships. Phi Kappa Phi is unique because it recognizes superior scholarship in all academic fields, rather than restricting membership to a limited field.

Juniors in the top five percent and seniors and graduate students in the top ten percent of their classes may be invited to become members of Phi Kappa Phi. New LSU Phi Kappa Phi members are initiated and honored in the spring semester each year and wear identifying ribbons on their academic gowns at commencement exercises.

Students who are interested in dual membership in the Honors College and the College of Education should contact the Honors College for admission information.

The University Laboratory School, an integral part of the College of Education, is maintained for observation, research, and pre-service field experiences in grades K through 12. The Laboratory School, therefore, maintains a staff of teachers for the purpose of giving instruction to children, demonstrating teaching procedures to student teachers and observers, developing innovative programs, conducting educational research, and acquainting pre-service and in-service teachers with approved and tested teaching procedures and viewpoints.
