About Us

The Amakan building that used to stand on that spot at the back of the College of Engineering Building, where the present workshop rooms of Industrial Education are located housed the first classrooms and laboratories of the College of Education. Yes, that was in 1985, the year the College of Education was established. Until 1993 when the current CED Building was completed, the offices of the dean and the department chairpersons were accommodated at the College of Engineering Building.

Created by virtue of the MSU Reorganization Plan approved by the BOR Resolution no. 18 series of 1984, Special Order no. 885, CED merged three former schools: School of Industrial Education, School of Physical Education and the Developmental High School, the laboratory school for students having their practicum. Ever since, CED constituted five departments. The Department of Home Technology (DHTE) emerged from a formerly known Department of Student Teaching. The rest: Department of Science and Mathematics Education (DSME), Department of Industrial Education (DITE), Department of Physical Education (DPE) and Department of Professional Education (DPRE) progressively offer various fields of specialization in the BSED, BSIED and BEED programs. The Integrated Developmental School (IDS) is one department that serves as a laboratory school and it is fully under the supervision of the CED Dean.

From its humble beginning, the College of Education has found its direction to become one of the country’s leading institutions in teacher education. With highly competent and dedicated faculty members, CED has withstood challenges over the years. Aside from the four-year bachelor’s degree programs, it also offers graduate programs in Master in Science Education (MSciEd) with specializations in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and General Science, as well as the Master in Science in Physical Education (MSPE). For doctorate, it offers Ph.D. in Science Education major in Chemistry.

Among the achievements of CED is its distinction as Center of Excellence for Teacher Education awarded by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in 2010. CED garnered the 2010 CHED Outstanding Higher Education Institution Extension Program Award for Region 10. CED has also undergone accreditation by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP).

Bachelor of Secondary Education majors in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, General Science, Technology and Livelihood Education, MAPEH has reached Level 3 . The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education is also accredited Level 3 and Level 2 accreditation of BEED respectively.

CED is among the top performing schools in the Philippines in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) Elementary Level in 2008. It ranked second in the same category in 2004. Iin 2006, CED gained the third rank in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) in the Secondary Level nationwide and number one in the LET Elementary Level in Region 10.
