Mission Statement
The Department of Education promotes passion for learning, respect for the individual, and service to society. Collaborating with K-14 educators and university partners, we prepare professional educators to improve the quality of life through education.
Preparing Educators to Be
Effective ◆ Reflective ◆ Engaged
Welcome to the Department of Education at California State University, Chico. Programs of the Department of Education benefit from a history of more than 100 years of quality teacher preparation. We are a nationally accredited NCATE institution and a member of the National Network for Educational Renewal.
Our programs are guided by the belief that an effective social and political democracy provides the greatest opportunity for the success of a diverse society, characterized by community values such as membership, respect, caring, and trust, and by the belief that the essential role of education is to prepare people for lives as contributing members of a democratic society.
I encourage you to explore our Web site to learn more about how to become a teacher and to discover other opportunities that are available in the Department of Education.
