Contact UCEA

MSU was founded in 1855 as a federal land-grant college. According to U.S. News and World Report, the College of Education is ranked among the top in the nation and MSU is one of the top 100 global universities. Well beyond rankings, however, the MSU proposal and site visit evidenced a deep dedication to “outreach scholarship,” belief in service, and commitment to the public good.  

The College of Education has a long-standing mission towards Leadership, Scholarship and Service. In this light, the college strives for excellence in: preparing professionals for leadership roles in education, seeking to understand, reform and improve education, and examining issues of education across the lifespan. This mission is closely aligned with UCEA’s focus on research, policy and preparation to advance educational leadership.
