Boilerplate Statements for the College and University

The University of Arizona College of Education

Founded in 1922, the University of Arizona College of Education is at the forefront of research on the global challenges that confront education today. The college also prepares education professionals and assists those who want to advance in their careers. Many of the college's graduates are teachers, of course — serving the education system, including early childhood, elementary, secondary, and special education — yet students and graduates also are researchers, counselors, interpreters for the deaf, school psychologists, principals, superintendents, and community college and university faculty and staff. Undeniably, an education degree can serve as the foundation for a career as a coach, data or video analyst, museum educator, social-media specialist, camp director, nonprofit specialist, and so much more. The uniqueness of the college is present in its work with Tribal Nations, as part of a Hispanic Serving Institution, and in protecting delicate desert ecosystem through sustainability education, to name a few. As the college pursues innovation through collaboration, there is an appreciation for culture in all its forms and a focus on making a beneficial impact on every person reached.
