WELCOME to the COEPD
The College of Education and Professional Development has the distinction of being the oldest part of Marshall University. The current combination of programs is a result of the merger of the College of Education on the Huntington Campus, and the Graduate School of Education and Professional Development, located primarily on the South Charleston campus.
We are now working together to provide programs for educators and educators-to-be for the state and for the region. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the COEPD.
