The College of Education offers students multiple program opportunities spanning all three Georgia Southern locations and online.

The mission of the College of Education at Georgia Southern University is to prepare educators and other service professionals to be lifelong learners with scholarly based knowledge, skills, and experiences to meet the needs of a diverse global community. Georgia Southern University College of Education is the premier and primary educator of teachers in Southeast Georgia, and Eagle Educators are known throughout the state and nation for their achievements and dedication to the field of education. Programs offered by the COE prepare future teachers, school psychologists, counselors, school library media specialists, instructional technologists, researchers and leaders through intensive field experiences, cutting-edge technology and research-based instruction. With more than 100 faculty members who are experts in the field, students learn in an environment exemplified by a free exchange of ideas, high academic expectations, and individual responsibility for academic achievement. Program options include seven undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Education majors preparing students for initial teacher certification. At the graduate level, the College offers the Master of Arts in Teaching degree with six available concentrations, 12 master of education degrees, seven education specialist degrees, and two doctoral degrees. The College also offers six certificate opportunities and nine graduate-level programs for educators seeking to add an endorsement to their certification. The success of the College’s initial preparation and advanced degree programs is linked to its extensive partnerships with regional schools, educational and community agencies, and other units of Georgia Southern University. These collaborations provide vital experiences and benefits to all involved. Whether a K-12 school utilizing the expertise of a COE faculty member or a counseling or school psychology graduate student working with an experienced professional in the field, partnerships are a fundamental role of the College.

Some classrooms have a little dirt on the floor. Instead of pencils and notebooks, alumnus Danny Varnadore uses saddles and spurs as he teaches the next generation of rodeo enthusiasts.

Read his journey from professional bull rider to professor in the latest Georgia Southern Magazine: https://bit.ly/3S93Fzz

Danny Varnadore (‘11, ‘13) has seen all sides of bull riding. 🐂

From watching in the stands to being stepped on by a 2,450 pound bull, Danny knows every aspect of the sport. His expertise, passion and time at Georgia Southern has helped lead him to coach bull riding at the collegiate level.

“I always wanted to go back and coach at college rodeo, and when the opportunity came along, I just knew this was something our kids could use locally and regionally,” he said. “I wanted to be able to give back and share my experience and my story to encourage kids to make the right decision by getting your degree so you have something to fall back on.” 🎓
