This program, through MSU Texas' West College of Education, aims to prepare successful, reflective professionals through the use of best practice. Although the West College of Education has its roots in the preparation of teachers, principals, and school counselors, they also seek to prepare individuals who want to work as dyslexia specialists, reading specialists, educational diagnosticians, general counselors and professionals in sports and leisure studies.

The West College of Education believes that learning changes both individuals and society. Developing resiliency and tolerance enhances an individual's potential. Through education, the individual becomes a critical thinker and an effective problem solver. Individuals with a cause beyond self contribute to an informed, democratic, and synergistic society. MSU Texas faculty continually strives to establish a reflective and collaborative community to enhance the potential of both the learner and society.
