Grand Valley State University's College of Education and Community Innovation offers programs for students pursuing education, teaching, and counseling. Since 1964, GVSU has provided excellent education with small class sizes. The programs focus on hands-on learning and connecting classroom lessons to real-world situations. Students get personal attention from faculty, preparing them to become education leaders.

The Education programs partner closely with TRIO programs at Grand Valley State University, including the TRIO Teacher Preparation Student Support Services. TPSSS provides federally funded support to first-generation Grand Valley State University undergraduate students who meet federal income guidelines and are pursuing a K-12 teaching degree.
