The Graduate School of Education & Information Studies (GSE&IS) is dedicated to developing new knowledge, models and strategies to improve learning, teaching and the understanding of education and information-seeking behaviors. Its goal is to improve the capacity of all individuals to understand and make their way in the world through equitable access to quality education and open information.
The School's Department of Education transforms research into practice, serving as a public-policy and training resource to revitalize learning in California and the nation. Faculty are internationally known in such areas as student assessment and testing, educational technology, early childhood development and trends in higher education. Graduates become teachers, administrators, college professors, education researchers and education-policy leaders.
The Department of Library and Information Studies is a leader in the emerging multidisciplinary field known as information studies. Faculty are internationally recognized for research in areas including information-seeking behavior, digital libraries and archives, and the information needs of children. The department seeks to develop leaders and innovators who will change institutions and solve problems relating to the personal and social use of information.
The school is home to the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) and the Higher Education Research Institute among others. The school also operates Corinne A. Seeds University Elementary School (UES), California's only university-based pre-kindergarten-through-sixth-grade laboratory school.

1997-‘98 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
Another record-breaking year in fundraising efforts. In 1997-'98, commitments toward the school's Campaign UCLA goal totaled more than $7.9 million
The school received the largest single private gift in its history. Jeffrey and Joyce Sudikoff gave $2 million: $1.5 million to establish the Sudikoff Family Institute for New Media and Learning and the remainder to aid students in need at UES, GSE&IS' lab school.
The Center for the Study of Evaluation received approximately $5.4 million in grant and contract money for research, testing and evaluation projects, including $2.8 million from the U.S. Department of Education to fund CRESST. Among major new projects was a $500,000 contract from the Chicago Public Schools for assessment development.
