College of Education & Human Services

Preparing students to be committed and competent professionals in service to people and institutions in our region, the nation and the world

Message from the Dean:  Shippensburg University’s roots are in education.  The School was founded in 1871 as the Cumberland Valley State Normal School to train teachers.  To that end, we are the oldest college on campus.  Since that time, however, the college has expanded to include six other departments which are all about service to children, families and society.  In our College, combining solid academic preparations with extensive real-world experiences, future professionals train side by side, benefiting from an exchange of ideas and collaboration which provides a more comprehensive and holistic approach to learning. The College continues to explore and develop programs in response to student, employer and societal demands which increase job placement opportunities and fill critical needs in our nation. Learn more about the College of Education and Human Services.

With your support, we can provide the most up-to-date programs giving our students the education and experience they need to be competent professionals in their chosen discipline.
