In our 136-year history, we’ve built a nationally recognized model of educating and supporting students. Whether you want to be an educator, counselor, or inspiration in sports pedagogy, recreation, or consumer sciences, our faculty and programs will prepare you to be forever ready—ready to lead, challenge, improve, and answer the call.
