OCECA provides services for students majoring in education in the following areas: EARLY CHILDHOOD
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
PSYCHOLOGY
SECONDARY EDUCATION
SPECIAL EDUCATION
SPEECH PATHOLOGY AND AUDIOLOGY The School of Education has made a commitment to student success by requiring students to register for all professional education classes through this office. Students meet with an adviser each term to discuss requirements and deadlines and to tentatively plan a timeline to graduation.
Students must pay careful attention to application deadlines for field placements, observations, and student teaching.
Students will undergo a criminal background check once admitted to the program and must have a TB test prior to placement in the public schools for student teaching. Any questions regarding these should be directed to our office
The content of the coursework in each area of education is founded on the belief that in order to be successful, students must become inquirer-professionals. The OCECA office is here to assist you any way we can!
