EHS Name

Prior to Jan. 1, 2008, the School of Education, Health and Society (EHS) was known as the School of Education and Allied Professions (EAP). The current name better reflects the scope of efforts of the school’s five departments and the interrelationships among the academic disciplines.

 

Diversity

The School is committed to the belief that all students need the kinds of training, exposure and experiences that will allow them to function effectively in an increasingly diverse society. For more information about diversity efforts, please visit the diversity section of our site.

Team Scholarship for Ohio’s Teachers

In recognition of the important contributions Ohio’s teachers and school administrators provide Ohioans, Miami has established the Teacher Education Access at Miami (TEAM) Scholarship. The scholarship reduces tuition and fees for professional development and/or earning a graduate-level degree by 50 percent. For more information please visit the TEAM Scholarship web site.

Partnerships

Strong and growing partnerships with school districts and community agencies provide hands-on opportunities for students and research opportunities for faculty. Miami is one of the few schools of education nationwide to have a partnership office.
