About Us: Role of the Educator Information Office

The Educator Information Office has been established for potential educator licensure candidates and students interested in a Minor in Education to receive pre-licensure advising and information about all programs. The goals of the Educator Information Office are to establish a safe environment for licensure candidates to be pre-advised and learn about educator licensure programs and the Minor in Education; provide clear and consistent information and guidance to licensure candidates and students; provide pre-advisement, mentorship, support, and guidance to all candidates so they can make informed choices about their futures in education. 

The Educator Information Office staff is available for individual, scheduled appointments. Please see our Advising Appointments: Pre-licensure and Minor in Education section for additional information about advising appointments.
