That’s why field experience is a vital part of every student’s program of study. The college offers majors in a variety of areas relating to human development across the lifespan – teaching, counseling, educational leadership, athletic training, exercise science, sport management and more. Teacher education majors get extensive hands-on experience in Kansas’ largest, most diverse school district t
hroughout their program, well in advance of their final student teaching placements. Students in other majors gain field experience in other education settings, conduct research in WSU's state-of-the-art Human Performance Laboratory, or intern with the top sport organizations in the country. Such experience, combined with a solid foundation of knowledge gained in the classroom, positions College of Education graduates for success in their chosen professions.
