Within a top-10 public college of education, students benefit from a vibrant scholarly community, individualized research pathways, and access to cutting-edge resources and support for educational research. With close faculty mentorship and opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration across Anne’s College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences, students develop the skills to conduct original scholarship that makes a lasting impact and bridges research with practice.
