The College of Education is a premier center for interdisciplinary research, innovative instruction and service to the local and global communities. We strive to improve opportunities and outcomes in education and human development by:

  • Collaborating across the University of Maryland to expand knowledge about education and learning from infancy to adulthood.
  • Preparing highly qualified teachers, researchers, school leaders, policy makers, and other professionals who will advocate for equity through quality education and human services.
  • Leveraging our location near the state’s and nation’s capitals to form strategic partnerships with school districts, government agencies and organizations to promote reforms at the local, state, national and global levels.
