Divisions are overseen by division chairs who: Serve for five years Coordinate administrative and professional needs of faculty Report to the vice chancellor for academic affairs and dean Division of Education Through the field of education, students can pursue the study of education and its role in society (separate from teacher licensure programs); complete a major and teaching licensure in elementary education; prepare to teach one or more liberal arts subjects at the secondary school level; and/or prepare for graduate study in education. Division of Education programs are enhanced through faculty commitment to personalized instruction, use of current instruction technologies, and opportunities for student and faculty participation in multicultural and international educational experiences. Division of Education Information Division of Education Overview Contact the Division of Education Division of Education Resources National & State Accreditation Division of the Humanities Humanists discover and create. They turn self-expression into art. They connect with cultures (including our own) by learning their languages and interpreting their creative achievements. They ponder the big questions a thoughtful mind cannot avoid, and add their voices to the great conversation. A humanistic education is essential in a world where interdisciplinary competence is increasingly necessary, and where leaders and professionals are expected to have both quantitative and qualitative skills. Humanities majors at Morris often double major in scientific or social-scientific fields and enrich their personal lives and employment prospects by drawing on the skills they learned here at UMN Morris.
