Academic Programs

At the UVA School of Education and Human Development, we believe in a holistic approach to education. Learners often have needs that cannot be met with just one method. That is why we teach our students to view the learner from various angles, considering emotional, physical, and social needs in addition to intellectual. By offering many areas of study, including counselor education, kinesiology, special education, psychology, gifted education, and more, our students understand how to connect across disciplines and help their future students reach their greatest potential.
