UNI College of Education

UNI College of Education The UNI College of Education has a legacy of preparing quality educators and more dating back to 1876. They learn from faculty who lead their disciplines.

The University of Northern Iowa is proud to be a leader in preK-12 education in Iowa, including formal and nonformal education. Our undergraduate and graduate students prepare for careers ranging from early childhood, elementary, middle level, literacy and special education teachers to school administrators, nonprofit professionals, school psychologists, teacher librarians, recreation therapists,

tourism event planners, campus and community parks and recreation leaders, higher education student affairs specialists and more. Our teaching majors are immersed early and often in professional settings. Education majors have a variety of field experiences in rural, suburban, urban or international school settings. Students in our recreation, tourism and nonprofit leadership program intern in community and nonprofit organizations, agencies and centers. The College of Education offers the largest undergraduate major at UNI -- elementary education -- and anchors UNI Teacher Education, the largest program in Iowa and one of the largest in public universities in the country. In addition to its specific teaching degrees, its faculty and staff also oversee the majority of field experiences and the path to licensure for all teaching majors across four colleges. A full slate of graduate education programs includes nationally recognized master's and online programs and a doctorate in education (EdD). The University of Northern Iowa College of Education values leadership and excellence in the preparation of future professionals, encouraging leadership and innovation in professional practice and strong collaborative relationships with the professionals and communities we serve.
