Education School Overview

At the Indiana University—Bloomington School of Education, graduate programs are based on the Advanced Conceptual Framework. Under this plan, graduate and professional students are instructed to bolster their comprehensive knowledge base, develop intellectual skills, emphasize diversity and community, and grow personally and professionally.

There are many master’s, Ph.D., and certificate programs at the IU-Bloomington School of Education for future educators, administrators, counselors, and school psychologists. For graduate students pursuing Peace Corps service, there is a Master’s International program that incorporates two years in the Peace Corps with a graduate degree, with an emphasis on teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language. There is also a Transition to Teaching (T-to-T) program that grants K-12 education degrees to adults who have pursued a different career.

There are about 10 research centers and institutes at the school, including the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy and the Center for Human Growth. Students can also get involved in outreach initiatives, such as the Saturday Art School Program and the Saturday Science Quest for Kids, and several student organizations including Project TEAM, which readies educators to work in culturally diverse schools, and the Indiana Student Education Association. Students can live on campus in Bloomington if they wish.

Alumni of the IU-Bloomington School of Education have gone on to win Indiana Teacher of the Year recognitions, among other awards.
