Distributed across five colleges, 12 departments, and three interdisciplinary councils, the EPP offers 8 graduate programs at the master’s and specialist levels and 20 areas of specialized study at the undergraduate level accredited by CAEP. The EPP consists of more than 150 professional education faculty members, the Director of Educator Preparation, the dean of the College of Education and Human Services, and the dean or dean’s designee of each involved college. The work of the EPP is supported by the Office of Educator Preparation Programs housed in the College of Education and Human Services. CMU has been a leader in teacher education programs since it was founded in 1892 and graduates more than 300 teacher candidates annually.
