Description of College
The mission of the School of Urban Education is twofold: (1) To increase the number of well-prepared teachers of color in Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding suburbs so that the urban teaching workforce reflects the ethnically diverse population of preK-12 students and their communities; and (2) To empower all teacher candidates to become urban teachers with the content knowledge, pedagogical skills, urban field experiences, and professional dispositions needed to improve the educational achievement of historically and currently underserved urban learners and to advocate for their right to receive a high quality education.
The School offers nine undergraduate and seven graduate programs, and is the most racially and ethnically diverse teacher preparation unit in Minnesota with a majority of BIPOC students, faculty and staff. The School is embedded on the campus of Minneapolis College. For more information, visit our website at https://www.metrostate.edu/academics/urban-education.
