Professional Education Unit (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 and 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.
The following resources are available:
- PEU Calendar,
- PEU Courses,
- PEU Membership,
- Conceptual Framework,
- Diversity,
- Assessment Plan,
- Strategic Plan,
- Accreditation, and
- Partnership Initiatives.
Professional Education Committee (PEC)
The Professional Education Committee (PEC) is the representative body to the Faculty Senate that governs the professional education curriculum and defines policies and procedures that ensure quality professional education programs at this institution. A PEC member who represents the faculty must be a member of the PEU.
The primary purpose of the PEC is to review courses and programs and to define those policies and procedures that ensure professional education programs at Missouri State University (Missouri State) meet state and national guidelines for preparing qualified school personnel. The PEC represents the Professional Education Unit (PEU) as a governing body. Missouri State is organized such that professional education programs are offered in each of the six academic colleges. The PEU was established to encompass all professional education certification programs across the various colleges.
