Jessica White is a senior business technology education major from Columbia, Mississippi. She moved to Columbia from San Antonio, Texas, several years ago with her family. Jessica’s elementary and middle school experiences led her to desire to be a teacher. Her elementary and middle school teachers were so caring and willing to help every student that Jessica decided she would like to do the same for students someday. The only question she could not answer was which subject area she would prefer to teach.WELCOME
Our Mission
The College of Education and Psychology’s purpose is to provide quality programs in the areas of professional education, psychology, educational technology, library and information science, and child and family studies. These efforts take the form of degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate (master’s, specialist, and doctoral) levels, basic and applied research, and service. The College of Education and Psychology addresses the mission of the University of Southern Mississippi through research, teaching, and service in professional education, the behavioral sciences, human development and adjustment, and the flow and management of information necessary for scholarship and education.
On-going Goals and Objectives of the College
Outstanding education is inextricably intertwined both with our scholarly and creative activities and our contributions to the human and economic development of our community. Our instructional corps will produce highly influential original empirical and theoretical scholarship in collaboration with our undergraduate and graduate students. Scholarship will be focused and programmatic. The outstanding quality of this research will be known by publication in top-tier journals and books, financial support from government and foundation sources, an interdisciplinary and inter-institutional focus, and, most important, the outstanding students produced at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We will provide leadership in the preparation of professionals and programs that support an appreciation for life-long learning and development. These objectives will be realized within a technologically advanced, diverse learning community focusing on
Teaching excellence and professionalism in the classroom,
Basic and applied research in education, human behavior, learning, and information exchange,
Innovation by improving and developing new models and programs for education, human behavioral change, learning, and information exchange,
Diffusion of these models into existing and new programs supporting education, human behavior change, learning, and information exchange, and
Development of the College and University by reaching out to our colleagues in other disciplines and institutions and community constituents in order to establish mutually beneficial relationships
