The UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies (GSEIS) includes two departments -- the Department of Education and the Department of Library and Information Science. Together, the two departments embody the school's commitment to understand and improve educational practice, information policy, and information systems in a diverse society. Research and doctoral training programs bring together faculties committed to expanding the range of knowledge in education, information science, and associated disciplines. The professional training programs seek to develop librarians, teachers, and administrators within the enriched context of a research university.
GSEIS is committed to developing expertise in both old and new methods of information storage and retrieval and to bringing innovative approaches in educational technology and information access to the schools and classrooms of the state and nation. In addition, GSEIS faculty members are engaged in research, teaching, and program development in the areas of management and leadership of schools and libraries, information policy formation, and information systems designs in organizations of all kinds.
Through its scholarship, its graduate training programs, and its partnerships with schools and educational professionals, GSEIS honors its commitment to improve practice in schools, universities, and libraries, enhance theoretical and applied research, expand the role of the university in policy creation, and advance the careers of professional leaders and specialists.
Together our commitment is to the highest quality professional education and to the application of research to the challenges facing a diverse and increasingly urbanized world.
