UCLA School of Education and Information Studies

education and information are deeply ingrained in ucla’s dna. nearly a century ago, a small los angeles “branch” of the university of california opened its doors as a teaching college to meet the needs of a rapidly growing metropolis. today, we continue to build on this legacy at the ucla school of education & information studies by doing fundamental work on what matters most in education and information studies in the 21st century: the discovery and application of usable knowledge at the crossroads of policy and practice. we are home to sixteen nationally renowned research centers, two groundbreaking partnership schools, and some of the world’s premiere education and information experts. this where the most pressing issues in education and information are transformed by ucla and strategic partners into opportunity and real-world solutions.
