Introduction

The Graduate School of Education is committed to excellence, innovation, and collaboration in research and in the preparation of professionals for the highest levels of practice and service in diverse schools, organizations, and communities.

The Graduate School of Education (GSE), advantageously located in the National Capital Region, provides leadership in transforming schools, organizations, and communities through research, teaching, and collaboration. GSE faculty prepare scholars and practitioners through multidisciplinary programs of study that facilitate the understanding, integration, and application of knowledge. Through research activities, faculty and students expand and refine the knowledge base for teaching and learning. In response to the richness and complexity of a pluralistic society, GSE infuses diversity into its academic programs and research. Faculty develop and support knowledgeable, caring, and reflective professionals who facilitate excellence and equity for all learners. GSE students and faculty demonstrate their growth and development in ways meaningful to their communities and professional organizations. Innovative programs and the integration of technology provide the opportunity for students to develop, examine, evaluate, and practice professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions.

The Graduate School of Education also encompasses degree programs under the Department of Health, Fitness, and Recreation Resources.
