Austin Peay State University College of Education

At APSU's College of Education, we are committed to empowering the next generation of educators. Our programs are designed to equip aspiring or existing teachers and educational leaders with the knowledge, skills, and practical experiences necessary to make a lasting impact in the field. With a wide range of degree programs, we offer comprehensive and innovative options for individuals seeking to pursue a career in education. Our undergraduate programs provide a strong foundation in the fundamentals of teaching, while our graduate programs offer specialized areas of study and advanced coursework to further enhance professional development. Whether you're interested in PreK-12 education, special education, curriculum and instruction, educational leadership, or doctoral studies, our programs cater to diverse interests and career goals. One of our standout initiatives is the Grow Your Own Teacher Apprenticeship program, which aims to address the critical shortage of teachers in across the nation. APSU partnered with CMCSS to become the first registered teacher apprenticeship in the nation. Through this unique program, we partner with local school districts to identify talented individuals who are passionate about becoming teachers. These future educators are then provided with mentorship, financial support, and hands-on experience, enabling them to gain the necessary skills and knowledge while remaining connected to their communities. The Grow Your Own Teacher Apprenticeship is a testament to our commitment to fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion in education. Our College of Education boasts dedicated and accomplished faculty who are renowned experts in their respective fields. They are committed to providing high-quality education and mentorship, ensuring that our students are prepared to excel in the rapidly evolving landscape of education. #APSUCollegeofEducation #GovsTeach #Education #Teaching #EducationalLeadership #TeacherApprenticeship
