Capacity Statement

BSU’s Teachers College has been in operation since 1918. At its inception, the institution was

dedicated to the preparation of teachers and school leaders for Americas K -12 schools. As the institution expanded, so did TC as it evolved into an entity providing masters and doctoral degrees in addition to bachelor degrees. Program offerings include early childhood education,

elementary education, secondary education, special education, counseling psychology, adult and community education, executive development for public service, higher education, educational psychology, school psychology, curriculum, foundations of education, multicultural education,

educational administration and supervision, and several others. Many of its graduate programs are offered entirely online through distance learning. In addition, TC operates two schools,

Burris – a K-12 school, and the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities, a statewide school for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors. The college also authorizes 28 charter schools. Throughout its history TC has been committed to

internationalizing its curriculum and expanding its relationships globally. In recent years faculty have worked on research, development, and teaching programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, South

Africa, China, Kuwait, Ethiopia, Russia, Georgia, England, Germany, and Mexico, to name a few. The college has welcomed a growing number of international students completing advanced degrees and visiting professors improving their knowledge and skills.
