Welcome from the Dean

As Dean of the College of Education at Columbus State University, I would like to personally welcome you to our website. Within the College of Education, our dedicated faculty and staff strive to provide a creative and supportive environment that utilizes a variety of educational experiences for all candidates. The College of Education has adopted the guiding principle, Creating Opportunities for Excellence, to support its mission...”to achieve excellence by guiding individuals as they develop the proficiency, expertise, and leadership consistent with their professional roles.” By supporting this mission, the College of Education has become a leader in the development of quality teachers and professionals for the region. Our programs are fully accredited by Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC), the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST).

I encourage you to stop by any of our professional offices located in Jordan Hall or Lumpkin Center. I am confident that you will be impressed with our facilities and resources afforded to professionals inside and outside the College of Education. If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
