Welcome to the College of Education and Human Services at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It is my honor and pleasure to serve the students, faculty, staff, and alumni as your dean.

The College of Education and Human Services provides leading-edge development and growth opportunities for students and professionals in education and allied fields. We offer nationally recognized and fully accredited programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, and we are committed to helping students become the highest quality teachers, reading specialists, and school building and district leaders; career and technical personnel; school and mental health counselors; education, training, and technology specialists; university faculty members and administrators; and human development and family sciences specialists.

CEHS students have multiple opportunities to engage not only inside, but also outside, the college classrooms. We provide practical, hands-on experiences at local, state, national, and international locations. The CEHS’s various programs have formed strong partnerships with professional development schools, community agencies, businesses/industries, and healthcare organizations. These experiences allow our students to make immediate connections from theories and foundational knowledge to practice.

CEHS faculty members are teacher-scholars who are recognized leaders in their various fields. Our faculty members are unwaveringly committed to the success of our students, model best practices, and conduct scholarly research to improve their teaching and student learning. CEHS personnel and our generous donors have established centers in Child Study, Science Discovery and Outdoor Learning, Literacy, Counselor Training and Research, and Administration and Leadership Studies Research and Training, as well as the Mid-Atlantic Research and Training Institute for Community and Behavioral Health. We also have a Labyrinth Center that serves students across campus on the autism spectrum. These centers and clinics provide authentic learning experiences for our students and opportunities to collaborate with faculty on important and groundbreaking research.
