The Graduate School of Education & Information Studies (GSE&IS) is dedicated to developing models and strategies leading to new knowledge about learning, teaching and the various forms and organization of information and people’s relation to it. Its goal is to improve the capacity of all individuals to understand the world through equitable access to quality education and useful information.

The school’s Department of Education and Department of Information Studies are both highly ranked among their peer institutions. They offer outstanding graduate academic and professional programs that prepare students to become leaders in their fields. Often using Los Angeles as a living laboratory, faculty are inspired by and respond to real-world challenges. Education faculty are expert in such areas as urban education, student assessment and testing, educational technology, early childhood, higher education, and international and comparative education. Information Studies faculty are expert in such areas as information retrieval systems, digital libraries and archives, and the information needs of children and diverse populations.

GSE&IS is home to a number of research centers, including the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) and the Higher Education Research Institute. In January 2000, the school officially welcomed both the California Center for the Book, which partners with libraries to promote reading and the study of book arts, print, and electronic culture, and the Pacific Bell/UCLA Initiative for 21^st Century Literacies, which examines the meaning of literacy in today’s environment of rapidly changing technologies, new and unfiltered information, and increasing diversity. GSE&IS also operates the Corinne A. Seeds University Elementary School, the country’s only university-based pre-kindergarten-through-sixth-grade laboratory school.

1999-‘00 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
In January 2000, the school reached its Campaign UCLA goal of $30 million, two and a half years ahead of schedule. The school’s goal was reset to a total of $40 million.
In April 2000, the school received a grant of $1,905,000 from the Spencer Foundation. The grant, which is the third from the foundation to GSE&IS, supports Ph.D. students in their development as the next generation of researchers studying the education of at-risk populations.
For 2000-'01, enrollment in professional programs increased in both departments, up over 10% from 1999-'00 enrollment. In the near future, growth will continue in the existing Teacher Education and Master of Library and Information Studies Programs and in the new Principal Leadership Institute and Teacher Scholar Program.
