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 two academic departments: Educational Theory, Policy, and Practice; and Kinesiology. The K- 12 University Laboratory School comprises the third department in the college.
The college's primary purpose is the preparation of highly qualified teachers, administrators, counselors, and human service professionals for 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 inquiring pedagogues, effective professionals, and reflective practitioners. Faculty, students, and graduates are actively engaged in the research tradition of the University, thus at the cutting edge in using sophisticated approaches for educating and improving the quality of life for a diverse population in a complex and interdependent world.
The Department of Educational Theory, Policy, and Practice (EPP) offers two undergraduate programs in elementary grades education, including a grades PK-3 collaborative program with the School of Human Ecology, College of Agriculture. The department also offers an undergraduate program in secondary education with an area of concentration in art (grades K-12) and collaborates with other colleges in providing concentrations in other areas of secondary education. Through the Graduate School, the department offers graduate programs in administration, curriculum, educational research, guidance, higher education, instruction, and technology.
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 athletic training, sports studies, fitness studies, human movement science, and H&PE teacher certification. Graduates pursue careers in K-12 educational settings, health and fitness programs, and professional programs, such as allied health and medicine.
The University Laboratory School offers a comprehensive K-12 curriculum for approximately 1,300 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:
- Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education—grades PK-3 (BS);
- Bachelor of Science in Elementary Grades Education (BS);
- Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (BS) with an area of concentration in art;

TWO PATHS TO TEACHER CERTIFICATION
LSU is a leader in teacher education reform. Extensive research and practice support two distinct ways to become certified as a teacher—a bachelor’s program or a master’s program. Students may choose from a bachelor’s program in the college (grades PK- 3, grades 1-5, grades K-12 art or health and physical education), in the College of Arts and Sciences (grades 6-12 in English, French, history, mathematics, or Spanish), or the College of Basic Sciences (grades 6-12 in biology, chemistry, or physics), or in the College of Music and Dramatic Arts (instrumental or vocal). Or students may choose a master’s program offered by the college for certification in grades 1-5, 6-12, or K-12.
Students interested in special education/elementary grades certification should contact special education faculty in the Department of Educational Theory, Policy, and Practice.
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 early and extended experiences in a variety of educational settings, incorporates instructional technology, and prepares PK-12 teachers who truly understand children, content, and pedagogy.

Bachelor's Programs
Students who wish to spend extended time developing the expertise to enter the teaching 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 and Louisiana Teacher Certification by completing 36-43 credit hours beyond a bachelor's degree in elementary education or in secondary/K-12 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.
Master's Program
Freshmen who have decided on a field of study and who want to graduate in the minimum time should follow the freshman-year curriculum suggested by the college offering their field of study. Occasionally, course substitutions must be made because of a student's initial placement in mathematics and English. Students who have not decided on a field of study are encouraged to participate in academic and career counseling sessions during their first semester by making an appointment with a Center for Freshman Year counselor.
Freshman-year students may schedule up to 19 hours in any regular semester. A maximum of 12 hours may be earned in any combination of summer sessions. In exceptional cases, permission to schedule more than 19 hours in one regular semester may be granted by the dean.
Teacher Education Programs in Other Colleges
Programs in English, French, history, mathematics, and Spanish education are offered through the respective departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, and programs in biology, chemistry, and physics are offered through the College of Basic Sciences. Students prepare for teaching vocal or instrumental music through the College of Music and Dramatic Arts.
ADMISSION/ADVISING
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.
LSU TEACHER EDUCATION COUNCIL
The Teacher Education Council provides governance for all University programs which prepare school professionals. It is responsible for setting and achieving teacher education goals, establishing policies, fixing responsibilities for program decision-making, identifying and utilizing resources, and facilitating continuing development and improvement of initial and advanced teacher education programs.
Office of Student Services
The Office of Student Services provides all student-related services for undergraduate students in the college and for master's students seeking teacher certification. The office strives to provide a single, student friendly environment designed to meet all student needs: recruitment, application procedures, admissions, advising and counseling services, student records, scholarships, PRAXIS information, student-related experiences (e.g., student council), degree audits, teacher certification, and alumni follow-up.

PHI KAPPA PHI
Founded in 1897 at the University of Maine, Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest, largest, and most selective honor society for all academic disciplines. Its chapters are on nearly 300 campuses in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Each year, approximately 30,000 members are initiated. Some of the organizations more notable members include former President Jimmy Carter, writer John Grisham, NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence, and Netscape founder, James Barksdale. The LSU chapter was founded in 1930 as the 43rd chapter in the nation. At the present time, the national office is located on this campus in the French House.
The mission of Phi Kappa Phi is to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others. 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 7.5 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. Additional information about the Society may be found at www.phikappaphi.org.

- Students may enter the elementary education basic program after completing at least 24 hours of degree credit courses with a 2.50 gpa.
- Students who are in the elementary education basic program should apply for admission to the elementary teacher education junior-year cohorts on or before March 1 of the sophomore year. Late applicants cannot be guaranteed consideration.
- Admission to junior-year cohorts in the elementary education program will be on a selective basis. Students will be selected from those candidates who meet the overall gpa admission requirement of 2.75 or higher and passing scores on the PRAXIS I assessments or minimum ACT composite of 22 or minimum SAT composite of 1030. Meeting the minimum admission requirement does not guarantee admission to the elementary education junior-year cohort.
- Students not admitted into junior-year cohorts by the time they have completed 75 hours may be dropped from consideration for the program.
- Students must maintain at least a 2.75 gpa each semester to continue in good standing in an elementary education cohort. Students who fall below a 2.75 gpa will be placed on probation. Students who remain on probation for two consecutive semesters will be dropped from the Holmes program.
- No final grade lower than “C” will be accepted in any professional or other course as required for certification, regardless of a student's overall gpa.

Areas of Concentration
- Athletic Training (46 hrs.)
Special Program Requirements
Students intending to concentrate in Athletic Training must be selected after meeting the minimum departmental and concentration criteria. Due to the limited number of clinical education sites, meeting all criteria for admission does not guarantee acceptance into the concentration. Admission is based upon:
- Completion of the Pre-Professional Orientation Meeting prior to obtaining the 100 hours of volunteer experiences with the LSU Athletic Training staff. Dates and times for each meeting are available on the Department of Kinesiology Web site or by contacting the Director;
- Evaluation of performance during volunteer experience;
- Grade of “B” or better in KIN 2503;
- Interview with program faculty;
- Ability to comply with the Athletic Training Concentration’s technical standards, with or without accommodation, which establishes the essential qualities considered necessary to achieve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of an entry-level athletic trainer. A copy of the technical standards can be found on the Department of Kinesiology Web site.
- Completion of a physical examination (forms obtained in the Pre-Professional Orientation Meeting).
- Favorable completion of an application packet provided by the Director of the Athletic Training Concentration, after completing the Pre-Professional Meeting. The deadline to submit the application packet is 5:00 pm on the second Friday in April. It must be addressed to the Director of the Athletic Training Concentration.
Academic Probation/Dismissal
All students admitted to the Professional Phase of the Athletic Training Concentration program must adhere to the program retention policies as stated in the Athletic Training Student Handbook. The following policies apply to all students admitted to the Professional Phase:
- A student who drops below a cumulative 2.50 gpa after being accepted to the Professional Phase of the program will be placed on academic probation during the following semester. The student may apply for re-entry after raising the cumulative gpa to 2.50 or better. Approval for re-entry is not guaranteed.
- A student who receives a grade lower than a “B” in any athletic training concentration course will be required to retake the course. Students may repeat a course once to achieve a “B” grade, but they will not be permitted to continue in those courses that require the deficient course as a prerequisite.
- A student who fails to maintain the required gpa, violates policies on established clinical site requirements, or violates codes of moral/ethical conduct may be dismissed from the Professional Phase of the concentration program. (See current policies in the Athletic TrainingStudent Handbook, LSU Athletic Training Room Policies & Procedures Manual, and Code of Ethics of the National Athletic Trainers Association.)
Any student requesting readmission to the Professional Phase of the concentration must follow the appeal process as outlined in the current Athletic Training Student Handbook.
Students graduating with the Athletic Training concentration are eligible to sit for the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification (NATABOC) athletic training certification examination in order to become a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC).

The University Laboratory School, an integral part of the College of Education, is maintained for observation, research, and preservice field experiences in grades K through 12. The Laboratory School, therefore, maintains a staff of teachers for the purpose of instructing children, demonstrating teaching procedures to pre-service teachers and observers, developing innovative programs, conducting educational research, acquainting pre-service and in-service teachers with approved and tested teaching procedures and viewpoints, and mentoring pre-service teachers.
The Laboratory School serves as a demonstration center for educational methodology. Faculty members demonstrate reflective practices through classroom research relative to the development of concepts and principles. Graduate and undergraduate students observe and participate in the use of instructional and testing materials. Graduate students and University faculty have opportunities to utilize the school for research studies.
A limited number of pupils can be accommodated in the Laboratory School. The admission process is designed to provide a diverse student population representative of the general population.
Tuition and activity fees are charged for each pupil in grades K through 12.
