College of Education and Psychology
Welcome to the College of Education and Psychology at UT Tyler. We are a diverse college, with programs in education and psychology at the undergraduate and graduate levels that prepare graduates for positions in schools, agencies and businesses, and for further graduate study. We offer three bachelor's degrees, nine master's degrees, and a post-master's superintendent's certification program. Close working relationships with schools and agencies in the East Texas region provide numerous opportunities for faculty and students to engage in service and research and to find quality placements in internships and practica. Through our Ingenuity Center and research labs, we provide additional research and service opportunities for our students and for schools and agencies in the region. We are a dynamic college within a young, growing university.
