About PEU

The Professional Education Unit (PEU) at Missouri State University is made up of all faculty, staff, and administrators who: (1) teach one or more PEU courses, (2) advise or supervise professional educational students, or (3) administer professional education departments/schools or colleges. Members of the Professional Education Unit come from many departments and all colleges across the campus.

The Unit functions as the body around which all changes to more than 40 undergraduate and graduate professional education programs across campus (courses, policies and procedures, certification, assessment, administrative decisions) are disseminated, discussed, and eventually governed.  The Unit is also required to document compliance with all state and DESE mandates regarding professional education programs at Missouri State for accreditation purposes.
