About This Program

Catalog and Course Details

In CSTE, we strive to create relationships with our students, and between our students and their communities. The capstone courses and the trademark outcomes for our degree include a community outreach experience where students work with a school or other educational partner to understand the community needs, and then develop an action plan to try and address those needs. We believe that our program will offer experiences to our students that are unique, and that will better prepare the student to create positive impact in their schools and communities.
