The HIU College of Education is notable for:

  • Small classes taught by outstanding faculty, many of whom are veteran practitioners in Orange County public and private schools
  • One-on-one mentoring for all students in both HIU’s teacher and administrative credential programs
  • Partnership opportunities for student teaching and administrative fieldwork with the finest school systems in Southern California
  • Courses designed specifically to align with our students’ time including evening, weekend and online courses
  • International student opportunities including the study of English as a Second Language. 

We enthusiastically welcome you into our HIU family!  We pledge to work with you in a nurturing and collaborative way and to provide you with the tools necessary to become an outstanding servant-leader, professional, and difference-maker in the public or private school setting.
