Students at Mizzou CEHD are driven to improve the lives of children, adults and families.

Our strong academic programs prepare students for a wide variety of careers in education, youth development, special education, family science, nonprofits, and so much more. Our faculty research helps shape practices, technologies and policies in Missouri, across the nation and around the world. And, with outreach in every state county and a focus on hands-on experience, our students enter their careers with the research-based knowledge to succeed.

Teacher candidates in Early Experiences will have opportunities to develop knowledge and competencies related to using and teaching with technology in their coursework. These skills will be further developed in field experience in Mid-Level Experiences and Advanced Experiences.
