Student resources
The department enjoys such strong evaluations for a variety of reasons. High-quality courses are taught by an exceedingly talented faculty who have achieved national and international recognition for their teaching and research. Equally important are the relationships our students establish with faculty and other students as they work collaboratively to explore some of the most important issues in education. The department benefits from a history of faculty involvement in major advances in the field of education in Minnesota, the U.S., and internationally, and has prepared many researchers, teacher educators, administrators, and teachers both in the U.S. and abroad who have contributed to their respective fields in significant ways.
