COMMITTED TO THE COMMUNITY

At the University of Houston College of Education, we’re working to improve educational
and health outcomes for all people and communities through effective teaching, innovative
research and strong partnerships. Students learn in the context of a multicultural
city from distinguished professors who merge research with real-world lessons. We’re
preparing future teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists, health specialists,
researchers and other leaders to transform lives in Houston and beyond.
