Welcome
We're pleased to share compelling evidence why our graduates
are some of the most sought after
in Oregon and the Northwest. Once you read our Conceptual Framework (see graphic and linking poster, right), our
commitment to "Connecting Teaching and Learning" both in WOU classrooms and in schools will be clear. We offer full-time and part-time undergraduate programs and a full spectrum of age levels and content areas. For high school and special education areas, graduate level programs are available days, evenings and online. In addition to programs in health and physical education, the college offers the state's only four-year degree in American Sign Language (ASL) Studies and ASL/English Interpreting, as well as a graduate program in rehabilitation counseling. On
behalf of our dedicated faculty and staff,
I applaud your interest
in our professions. Every day teachers, health and exercise science professionals,
sign language interpreters, and rehabilitation counselors make positive differences
in the lives of others. - Hilda Rosselli, Dean
Diversity and Multicultural Education Statement
WOU College of Education
programs value culturally responsive teaching and view diversity as an asset.
The programs cultivate the ability of our graduates to take multiple perspectives,
identify and examine current assumptions, be creative, take risks, and adopt
an experimental and problem solving orientation.
