COLLEGE OF ED CATIO Students in the College of Education are potential leaders in the fields of teaching, special educational services, and school ad- ministration. In the teaching field, under- graduate curricula are offered for both high school and elementary teachers and for teach- ers of the mentally handicapped and deaf or hard-of-hearing. The student gains practical experience from the practice teaching system established by the College. Curricula draw on the broad resources of the University for general education. Gradu- ate courses are offered for the development of appropriate fields of specialization. Research is also a major facet in the work of the College of Education. The University High School provides facilities for the de- velopment and testing of new programs and teaching materials, while the Bureau of Re- search and the Office of Field Services con- duct programs of aid for public school sys- tems in both fundamental and applied prob- lems.
