Offices & Departments
The work of the school hinges on the collective insight, passion and commitment of its faculty and staff.
Faculty, students, and staff receive support from multiple offices within the School of Education and Human Development as well as across Grounds. Faculty and staff in each office and department manage a variety of academic and administrative offerings, in addition to establishing and partnering with a wide variety of programs and organizations conducting important work in research, teaching and learning, and service.
Academic Departments
Academic programs are divided into four departments representing four distinct areas of academic study. Faculty and students within all four departments regularly collaborate on interdisciplinary programs, courses, and research projects.
World-Class Faculty & Staff
The School of Education and Human Development prides itself on community, collaboration and support. The "family" feel is apparent in the ways faculty, staff and students work together to not only better each other, but also UVA and the greater community. Knowing that those around you share a vision to advance the common good truly makes you realize just how special this place really is.
