About the School
Founded in 1909, the University of Kansas School of Education educates future teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists and health and sport professionals.
The School’s main home is Joseph R. Pearson Hall, a student-centered instructional facility which houses the Departments of Curriculum and Teaching, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Special Education, and Psychology and Research in Education, as well as many technology-equipped classrooms and other resources for students. Joseph R. Pearson Hall, which was a men’s residence hall from 1959 to the late 1980s, became the School’s new home in the August 2000 after a dramatic renovation and new construction project transformed it to meet the needs of the School’s programs and students.
The School’s Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences resides in Robinson Center, which includes extensive sports education and research facilities and serves as the University’s student recreational center.
The School also offers several graduate degree programs through the KU Edwards Campus in Kansas City.
