College of Education

A small college family in a Big Ten university.

A small-college vibe with access to the energy and resources of a Big Ten university: that’s what the Purdue University College of Education provides students. With more than 20 licensure areas that guide students toward teacher licensure in Indiana (and most other states) and hands-on experience in actual P-12 classrooms every semester until graduation, the College of Education is leading the way in preparing tomorrow’s teachers.

The College of Education is the hub of teacher education at Purdue. Seventeen undergraduate majors are part of a collaborative teacher education program organized across six colleges with shared curriculum goals and jointly-appointed faculty.

Each of these majors leads to a bachelor’s degree, and if you meet all of the requirements and deadlines, licensure in the state of Indiana.
