Faculty & Research
Emphasizing rigorous, evidence-based research and effective practice, our students engage with elite faculty to become agents of change with a holistic understanding of how humans learn. The high level of excellence and success of the School of Education and Human Development faculty is reflected in a number of ways.
Over the course of the last 10 years, the School has risen steadily in the U.S. News rankings, up from #31 to now #16. The School’s rise is a reflection of the academic excellence and the success of the faculty to earn increased investment into research efforts at the school.
By consistently investing in these research efforts, the School has increased research expenditures each of the last three years, even as the United States enters the fourth consecutive year of declines in federal research and development funding.
The faculty at the School are also regularly recognized by peers across the academic and clinical spectrums for their excellence as they earn journal editorships, awards and other honors.
Our students consistently speak of the deeply connecting relationships that are regularly forged between these top faculty and their students.
If you want to be a part of a place where students and faculty members learn from and with one another, their combined effort illuminating a smarter way forward, then you belong here.
