Today, the College of Education consists of three separate departments awarding thirty-five different academic degrees ranging from the baccalaureate to the doctoral levels.

The State Board recognized a Department of Education in 1933, and in April of the following year, authorization was granted for the organization of a separate school.

In 1965 the organization was expanded to include a Department of Psychology and Guidance, and in 1970 the Division of Research and Publications was established.

In January 1994 a new organization plan was approved and the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Leadership replaced the former Teacher Education area.

Founded in 2010 the AROS program is intended to provide students with experience in applied industrial and organizational psychology outside of the traditional classroom environment.

The center is primarily concerned with: advancing STEM education in Louisiana schools, providing professional development opportunities for teachers in STEM areas, addressing the number of uncertified teachers in Louisiana schools, and helping improve the rates at which economically disadvantaged and minority students enter postsecondary education programs.

Built on the philosophy that real objects, direct experiences, and enjoyment promote learning, The IDEA Place was approved by the Louisiana Board of Regents in 1991.
