Penn State College of Education

The Penn State College of Education is about people. From our beginnings in 1923, it has been our mission to deepen and extend knowledge about the formation and utilization of human capabilities.

What does this mean? It means we are committed to educating today in order to create a better tomorrow. We do this by helping students prepare to become the best in their fields, whether it is a traditional classroom teacher, workforce trainers, counselors, rehabilitation and human services professionals, or education policy makers. This commitment to be among the best has paid great dividends—for the college, our students, and the people served by our graduates.

Through research and scholarship, the College of Education helps advance the profession of education by educating people and improving society.
