International Studies in Education

By integrating international perspectives into its teaching, research and public service, the College of Education seeks a comparative understanding of educational policies, institutions and practices. The goal is to find ways to enhance the learning of children, teachers, and other adults in the United States while contributing to the worldwide effort of educators to meet the economic, environmental, social, cultural and political challenges of our time
