An undergraduate degree from UCLA’s Department of Education is often the beginning of a lifelong journey in excellence.

Our students major in Education and Social Transformation or minor in Education Studies and graduate with heightened intellect and social integrity, fully prepared to take whatever their chosen next step may be.

The Department is known as a leader in the study and practice of urban education, student testing and assessment, teacher and continuing education and development — particularly in urban, multi-ethnic environments, early childhood development, and issues of access, equity, and quality facing K-12 and higher education.

Here, faculty and students work together to solve the most pressing issues facing education today. This collaborative, dynamic environment helps students develop the skills they need to become leading education professionals in the 21st century.
