The College of Education and Professional Development has the distinction of being the oldest part of Marshall University. The current combination of programs is a result of the merger of the College of Education on the Huntington Campus, and the Graduate School of Education and Professional Development, located primarily on the South Charleston campus.
The College of Education and Professional Development provides an array of degree and professional development programs, continuing education opportunities and services that address needs of adult learners who are primarily fully employed students.
The college provides professional/technical expertise for the service area and is actively involved in addressing regional and state level educational, mental health and social issues.
