Dean's Welcome

The College of Education at the University of Texas at Arlington is a reflection of the successes and achievements of its students, faculty, administration, and staff. Excellence in teaching, quality research, and outstanding service are offered to Texans and others beyond the state's and nation's borders.

The focus of our teaching, research, and service efforts is always on the students. We work collaboratively to encourage students to broaden their educational experiences. The faculty from the Departments of Curriculum & Instruction, Educational Leadership, and Kinesiology provide programs of study at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. The faculty provides courses that incorporate diverse teaching styles and methodologies in an effort to enrich the lives of their students and prepare them to meet life's challenges.

Not only are the faculty student centered, but the advisors and counselors help guide students through their programs of study from their first course with the College to their graduation day. Additionally, Career Services offers students assistance with interview skills, job placement, and counseling for lifetime learning.

Everyone in the College of Education works collaboratively to enliven students' lives, to provide students with unique experiences built on high standards, to encourage students to think critically and creatively, and to instill in students a lifetime commitment to learning and service to their communities. The College of Education is, indeed, a place where students come first.

I invite you to visit our entire web site. Here, you will find information about our faculty, courses, programs, and degrees. The site will lead you on a path of discovery-a path that will help you plan your future as a student in the College of Education—the heart of the University of Texas at Arlington.

Good luck as you begin your journey.

Jeanne Marcum Gerlach, Dean
