Wichita State University College of Education Experience is everything in WSU’s College of Education. Experience is everything in WSU’s College of Applied Studies.

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 throughout 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.
