College of Education and Human Development

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) is one of seventeen colleges and professional schools at the University of Minnesota. CEHD departments are located on both the East Bank and St. Paul campuses.

The college was founded in 1905 as the Department of Pedagogy. As as fall 2005 it enrolled 6,670 full-year equivalent students and employed 191 tenured and tenure-track faculty.

During the academic year 2005-2006 the college granted 2,105 degrees (443 B.S., 484 M.Ed., 345 master’s and advanced graduate degrees). In addition, 833 students completed postbaccalaureate teacher licensure (427 initial licensure and 406 additional licensure).

In 2006 the college was merged with the General College, the School of Social Work, and the Department of Family Social Science. This merger resulted in a new, much larger and broader College, with a lifespan focus beyond many traditional colleges of education. In addition, the College will now be a freshman admitting college.

U.S.News & World Report ranked the college 11th among all professional schools of education (March 2006), and 5th among all public professional schools of education. Nationally ranked programs include: vocational/technical education (2), developmental psychology (3, last ranked 2005), counseling and student personnel psychology (4), special education (6), educational psychology (11), secondary education (12), elementary education (13), curriculum and instruction (17), educational policy (17), administration/supervision (20), higher education administration (20), social work (24, last ranked 2004).
