We’re a modern College of Education, Sport, and Human Sciences
Yes, we do prepare teachers. But we’re a whole lot more.
When most folks hear “College of Education, Sport, and Human Sciences”, they immediately think of future teachers learning their craft. And they’re right: we do do that. We have a rich legacy of it. Whether it’s preparing preservice teachers in elementary or secondary education for any number of disciplines or specialties, we’re a state leader. And if you thought it meant that we also administer the most prestigious K-12 program in Washington, which is our Doctor of Education (“ed doctorate”), you’d also be right. We do that, too!
As a modern College of Education, Sport and Human Sciences, we prepare students for a variety of fields. Besides our teacher preparation program, we host undergraduate programs in sport management, as well as kinesiology and athletic training.
Our graduate programs vary, but also include athletic training and sport management, to go with a strong portfolio of programs based in public schools, teaching, and learning.
Academic Departments
We have four departments in the College of Education, Sport, and Human Sciences:
- Department of Teaching and Learning
- Department of Educational Leadership and Sport Management
- Department of Kinesiology and Educational Psychology
- Department of Social Work
In living our college’s mission, vision, and values, we are agents of change because we believe in giving back to the community.
Leadership
The dean serves as the chief leader of the college, supported by associate deans, department chairs, campus academic coordinators, and other key individuals who contribute to the college’s excellence.

We Did It — Our Name Has Officially Changed!
After thoughtful consideration and for all the reasons shared above (we’re a modern, forward-thinking College of Education, Sport and Human Sciences!), we’re excited to announce that our college has a new name that better reflects who we are and what we do.
