The College of Education is home to an active and vibrant research community that is well respected for managing ground-breaking research efforts. Research happening on the University of Idaho campus and beyond, has produced critical findings and led to the development of important educational programs and curriculum. As well as being dedicated in teaching and advising students, our faculty members are extremely committed to their research efforts.
