Rural Education at Austin Peay (REAP)

Our REAP initiative focuses on the potential opportunities for recruitment of pre-collegiate students from rural districts, and:

• Encourages them to consider teaching as a career;
• Explores the multiple pathways available for current teachers/paraprofessionals seeking certification in the APSU teacher education graduate and undergraduate programs.

The dual-enrollment program offers education courses in rural schools, giving high school students early access to the quality teacher education programs at Austin Peay.
