Welcome to The Gladys W. and David H. Patton College of Education

The Patton College prepares educators, practitioners and human service professionals to be leaders. The Patton College has more than 100 faculty members serving more than 1,600 undergraduate and 900 graduate students. Housed in McCracken Hall, we have proud history spanning 125 years. While McCracken Hall is under construction for our renovation, all college offices will be held in Lindley Hall. 

The Patton College is the home to several excellent programs housed in five academic departments: Counseling and Higher Education, Human and Consumer Sciences, Educational Studies, Recreation and Sport Pedagogy, and Teacher Education.
