College of Education Research Guidelines
The College of Education encourages its faculty to conduct research related to the mission of the college and the university. Such research extends our knowledge which, in turn, supports the learning of our candidates. Furthermore, the College of Education affirms that developing knowledgeable and skilled educator-researchers is a goal of both initial and advanced programs. Engaging candidates in research investigations as part of their course work is an essential part of meeting that goal.
