Department of Education

Since ECU’s founding, the Education Department has been dedicated to preparing students for careers in public education. We support future educators and leaders through three primary areas:

• Undergraduate Teacher Preparation – Offering degrees in Elementary and Early Childhood Education, leading to licensure and certification in Oklahoma.

• Secondary Education Support – Providing professional education coursework for all secondary education majors and minors.

• Graduate Programs – Offering a variety of master’s degrees and certifications in areas such as Educational Leadership, Reading, Math, Library Media, School Counseling, Special Education, Sports Administration, and more.

At ECU, students gain real-world experience through fieldwork in public schools and learn from experienced faculty in small class settings. Our low student-to-faculty ratio, supportive environment, and well-equipped classrooms help ensure student success.

We’re proud to prepare some of the best educators and administrators in Oklahoma. To learn more, we invite you to contact our faculty, visit campus, or explore our programs.
