Research Expertise

North Carolina State University’s College of Education is home to a diverse faculty population that utilizes multiple perspectives and methods across many disciplines and fields. This has enabled us to pursue new, innovative and creative solutions to some of the big educational issues.

The Faculty Research Search was designed to further the college’s capacity to continue addressing such large-scale issues in education. It will allow us to conduct interdisciplinary work not only inside the institution but also with external collaborators by allowing faculty, current/future students and collaborators to connect and utilize the wide range of expertise we have in the college.
