Welcome to the College of Education and Human Development
The College of Education and Human Development is a vibrant and inclusive scholarly community promoting learning and development across the life span.
At the heart of our success is a distinguished faculty that includes many nationally and internationally prominent scholars, endowed professorships in special education and science education, and five professors who have received the highest honors from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.
The college’s innovative research and pace of performance have resulted in a research portfolio that has grown dramatically in a very short time. Commitment to research-informed practice, combined with our collaborative community and our passion for social justice, truly makes us all together different and positions our graduates to become agents of positive change locally, nationally, and globally.
Our four departments offer a diverse range of academic programs and transdisciplinary opportunities that integrate theory with practical experience, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and preparation needed to address the challenges of today's dynamic workforce.
