Dean's Welcome
Welcome to the Graduate School of Education's web site! Whether you are a prospective student looking for an excellent graduate program, an alumnus interested in keeping up with the latest research developments or connecting with a colleague, a scholar trying to find the link to one of our research projects or centers, a journalist seeking expertise on an important educational issue, or an inveterate web browser, you've come to the right place.
The GSOE is a vibrant learning and scholarly community:
- a place where students and faculty are studying some of the most complex and important educational issues facing our region and the nation;
- where alumni and friends can maintain valuable professional networks, become engaged in ongoing research, and find stimulating continuing professional development; and,
- where educational leaders look for the best research that translates into the “here and now” of educational practice and change.
Every day, UCR faculty, students, and graduates are addressing ways to improve the quality of experiences students have at each level of education—from preschool to post-secondary education--in schools, families, and the community. Our unique locale, in the heart of Inland Southern California that is dynamic, growing, and very diverse, offers incredible opportunities for research and professional education.
I invite you to learn more about the exceptional opportunities available at UCR's Graduate School of Education. Our intimate and collegial environment is ideal for developing close relationships with faculty and staff that are eager to become involved with you through graduate studies, a collaborative research partnership, or creating new ideas for improving education for all students.
Join the Graduate School of Education in shaping minds, shaping ideas, and shaping the future!
