Faculty of the college take full advantage of UIS' location in
the state capital by maintaining close ties with the Illinois
State Board of Education and the Illinois Department of Human Services.
Faculty serve on a variety of professional advisory boards and
on the boards of local social service delivery agencies. Due
to
the large number of state government employees, educators, and
human service professionals in Springfield, the college's academic
programs are vital to the city's economic and employment base.
Students enrolled in the college's programs prepare for professional
careers as social workers, teachers, counselors, school administrators,
gerontologists, public professionals, and researchers. Programs
in the college are closely involved with the Applied Study
and Experiential Learning Term and the Career Services Office to
ensure that students receive field experience in their chosen
professional
areas and have realistic career objectives.
The social work program is nationally accredited and works
closely with a variety of human social service agencies.
The human development
counseling program is also nationally accredited and provides
teaching emphasis in community counseling, marriage and family
therapy,
and school counseling.
The human services program prepares graduate students for
employment in the fastest growing segment of society, including
providing
direct services to senior centers and nursing homes, administering
and evaluating service-delivery systems for the elderly,
and assisting in legislative bodies that serve older persons.
The
human services
program's four areas of concentration are designed to provide
advanced professional training for graduate students in
human services such
as child development and welfare, alcoholism and substance
abuse, family studies, and gerontology.
The teacher education minors provide students majoring
in other disciplines the opportunity to complete their
required
study
to become certified and enter the teaching profession.
A major goal
of the minors is to prepare certified elementary and
secondary teachers who are competent in subject matter and who
understand
the psychological and sociocultural characteristics of
learners. Within the educational leadership graduate
degree, students
may choose between the administrative leadership concentration
or
the master teaching and leadership online concentration.
Students completing
the educational leadership graduate degree are prepared
to become educational instructional leaders, supervisors,
curriculum
directors,
or administrators in school systems.
Faculty use a variety of innovative teaching strategies
and technologies in the classroom and apply their research
and
scholarship to
the course work that they teach. Many of the faculty
have national and international reputations in their
areas of
expertise.
