Department College Of Education
About the Department
The College of Education's mission is to be a voice of innovation for learning
across the lifespan, prepare professionals who educate and lead, and engage in
inquiry and practice that reflect integrity, a commitment to social justice
and the value of diversity in a global community.
The college works to fulfill NC State's land-grant mission by preparing
extraordinary educators, conducting transformational research and providing
extension and engagement with communities across the state of NC. The college
has designed initiatives and programs around these areas to realize its vision
to lead the way in North Carolina in increasing resources and opportunities
for educational success.
The college has experienced remarkable growth over the past five years,
achieving highs in enrollment, rankings, giving and research funding. Today,
the college is one of the nation's top-ranked public colleges of education and
has multiple programs ranked in specialty categories. With projects,
partnerships and field placements in 92 counties and alumni in all 100
counties in North Carolina, the college's work impacts nearly every child,
family and community in the state.
The college has over 1,920 students studying across five graduate
certificates, seven undergraduate majors, two undergraduate minors, 13
master's degrees, three Ph.D. and two Ed.D. programs housed in three academic
departments: Educational Leadership, Policy, and Human Development; Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education; and Teacher Education and
Learning Sciences, with approximately 130 tenure-track and professional-track
faculty and 90 support and professional staff. The college is also home to the
Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research and the Friday
Institute for Educational Innovation.
Faculty are widely-recognized thought leaders using their research to
transform the practice of teaching, learning and leading. They have particular
strengths in improving technology-enhanced learning and teaching in STEM
education and literacy; increasing diversity, equity, inclusion and access in
education; and innovating leadership development, educational policy and
evaluation. School districts, community colleges, nonprofits, foundations,
legislators and the news media regularly seek their expertise. Faculty include
a Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching finalist, the president-elect
of the Association for the Study of Higher Education and NSF CAREER grant
recipients.
More than 70% of the faculty have active grants, and faculty are engaged in
120 funded research projects totaling more than $84 million, making them the
most productive in terms of research activity than any college of education in
North Carolina and the 15th most in the nation. Research expenditures in FY
2021 exceeded $17.2 million.
The college's 16,900-plus living alumni are among the most effective
educators, counselors and leaders in North Carolina and across the nation.
They include teachers, counselors, principals and community college presidents
of the year; superintendents and senior-level school system administrators;
business owners; a four-term governor; and even a Super Bowl-winning coach.
In FY 2021, the college received its highest amount in philanthropic
investments in a single year, including $7.25 million to establish the
Transformational Scholarships Program and prepare 100 teachers for Eastern
North Carolina. This new program is one way the college is working to
diversify the education workforce and to advance diversity, equity and
inclusion so all learners have the opportunity to thrive. The entire college
is actively engaged in a transformative process to become an anti-racist
college of education.
