These departments offer eight degree programmes which are Bachelor of Education (Agricultural Education), Bachelor of Education (Arts), Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Development and Primary Education), Bachelor of Education (Home Science and Technology), Bachelor of Education (Science education), Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education) and Bachelor of Education (Technology education).

These students are based at the Main and University’s Eldoret Town Campus.

The School of Education has a new ultra-modern School of Education Complex structure that it moved early this (2016) year.
