About the College of Education and Human Services

The College of Education and Human Services dates back to 1871, when the Oshkosh Normal School opened its doors. Today, the college enrolls over 2,300 undergraduates and graduate students in nationally-accredited programs.

Our goal is to educate the people who will set the pace for teaching, education reform and social change in an increasingly diverse environment.

The college’s four undergraduate degrees prepare students for varied career paths and include the opportunity for hands-on field work or student teaching. Our graduate degrees provide professionals in a variety of roles opportunities to develop and refine their abilities to provide leadership for education and human services excellence.

In addition, we offer:

• Bachelor’s and master’s degrees through 14 departments and divisions

• The opportunity to develop networks through student organizations

• Outstanding faculty and staff who publish in academic journals and textbooks, and present at professional conferences, but always put student learning first

• Access to national network of over 25,000 college alumni
