College Mission Statement
The mission of the College of Education and Human Sciences (CoEHS) is to prepare enlightened professionals who value the interdependent and dynamic nature of the human condition and perform effectively to strengthen collaboration with community partners.
The College's learning community is based on core values of liberal arts principles, collaboration, social justice, diversity, and reflective practice.
College Vision Statement
The vision of the College of Education and Human Sciences is to be consistently recognized as a leading community that:
1) develops collaborative, interdisciplinary, innovative leaders;
2) engages in scholarly inquiry that transforms practice;
3) enhances the human condition by working effectively with students, clients, and families across disciplines and agencies; and
4) promotes social justice and equity in an atmosphere where diversity is valued.
Liberal Arts Principles: Professionals develop dispositions, knowledge, and skills based on a sound liberal arts education.
• Liberal arts principles inform and enrich learning experiences embedded in professional education and practice.
• The relationship between liberal arts ideals, personal fulfillment, and professional competence is the foundation of professional performance, citizenship, and individual actualization.
• Lifelong learning and professional competence are pursuits that span each graduate's entire career.
Collaboration: Professionals collaborate to achieve a shared vision that reflects scientifically-based interdisciplinary practice and public policy.
• Professional competence is achieved when students are active partners in the professional education programs that cross disciplines in cooperative and shared study, service, and research to the maximum extent possible.
Social Justice: Professionals transform unjust and oppressive educational, social, economic, and political institutions into just and non-oppressive alternatives.
Diversity: Professionals value the unique cultural styles, interaction patterns, and beliefs of every individual and empower people to socially responsible self-determination.
Reflective Practice: Professionals cultivate a presence of mind that emphasizes continuous conscious analysis of values, assumptions, and strategies underlying their practice and the consequences of that practice on other human beings.
Criminal History and/or Caregiver Background Checks
Wisconsin law requires that persons responsible for the care, safety, and security of children and adults will be required to have background checks. In some cases, placement into an externship, professional semester, internship, or practicum will be dependent on the background check results. Course fees will be assessed to cover the cost of the background check and results may be shared with the practicum, professional semester, externship, or internship site.
Liability for Health Care Expenses
All expenses associated with health surveillance and care are borne by the student unless the Student Health Service specifically indicates otherwise. Students are not covered by health or accident insurance by UW-Eau Claire, the practicum facility, or the practicum institution. In addition, workers' compensation insurance does not cover students. For example, if a student suffers a needle stick or is hurt while in practicum, they will need personal health insurance to cover medical bills.

Dean's List
At the end of each semester, the College of Education and Human Sciences recognizes excellence in scholastic achievement by publishing the Dean's List. For teacher education majors, eligibility for this recognition requires admission to a teacher education program or pre-education status, but excludes the professional semester.
To be eligible, a student must:
(1) be in good academic standing;
(2) have a minimum semester GPA of 3.70;
(3) have completed at least 12 credits during the semester, with no incompletes, no courses below the 100-level, no repeats, and no Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory registrations (except in degree credit-bearing courses that are offered only on the S/U grading system in which a grade of S has been earned).
Students who meet this standard of achievement receive personal letters of notification and congratulations from the Dean.
