Professionalism that characterizes its purposes and setting is the one memory Dr. Gerald Hovater, head of the Division of Education, wishes to leave with F-HC education majors. This professionalism is well evidenced in statistics: 100 OA of F-HC education graduates are accepted into masters programs in education, and 75 !: of healthlP,E. graduates are accepted into graduate programs. Additionally, F-HC ls slated to begin its own mas- ter's program in education within the next tew years. The Division ot Education consists of two departments that are primarily engaged in the professional prepara- tion of elementary and secondary education teachers. Graduates ot the division's teacher education programs are prepared to teach in both private and public schools. Proper prepara- tion is supported by formal studies, observations, personal reports, and results of both national and state teacher examinations. A professional education foundation is provided tor admission and study leading to gradu- ate teacher education degrees. This year the Division of Education welcomed 94 majors to the campus of F-HC.
