Mission Statement 

The College of Education provides leadership through exemplary teaching, research that develops and refines theory and improves practice, and outreach to schools and communities. The College is dedicated to the development of education professionals who are intellectual leaders; who are prepared to participate in professional, social, and technological change; who are committed to lifelong learning and continuing professional development through inquiry and reflection on practice; who bring a multicultural perspective to their professional practice; and who exercise the responsibilities of citizenship in a global society that is interconnected and interdependent.

This mission is accomplished through: scholarship and research that reflect discovery, integration, and application of knowledge; application of technology to broaden learning opportunities and support the educational process; sensitivity to systemic improvement of teaching and schooling at all levels; partnerships with educational, governmental, and business entities; and interdisciplinary collaboration.
