The School of Education is home to 400 undergraduate and graduate students. Our students collaborate, embrace the unknown, challenge themselves, and grow into tomorrow’s educators, counselors, and visionaries who will go on to serve Michiana, the nation, and the world.
Approximately 70% of our graduates go on to work and live in St. Joseph/Elkhart counties. Join our team in helping shape the future of our region!

IU South Bend education and counseling programs are nationally accredited through CAEP and CACREP. Our graduates consistently meet and exceed Indiana state licensure requirements. In addition, we continually evaluate and work to expand our programs to respond to the needs of our changing community and world.
Cost is often the biggest barrier that potential educators face when pursuing a degree. To help our education students continue their studies and graduate, in 2024 more than $42,500 in merit and financial based awards were distributed to our students.
