Graduate Teacher Education
Founded in 1889, our education legacy is ingrained in its teacher preparation. From MAT programs to doctoral studies, we offer a broad spectrum of specializations. We emphasize innovation, cultural diversity and flexibility. We also offer on-campus, off-campus and online delivery options.
College of Education and Behavioral Sciences
Beginning as the State Normal School in 1889 to our status as doctoral high research activity institution today. We are at the center of excellence in preparation, research and educational leadership. UNC has produced more than half of all educators in Colorado and 18 Colorado Teacher of the Year Award winners.

The humanities and the social sciences are cornerstones of a liberal arts education. We offer a broad range of disciplines. This gives you a better understanding of the past, present and future roles of both the individual and society.
