A Message From the Dean

On behalf of the staff and faculty, current students and alumni, and our many external partners, I’d like to welcome you to the Faculty of Education at the University of Calgary. Our faculty is one of Canada’s leading centres for educational studies and we are continually evolving to improve the manner in which we teach and learn. We strive to be innovative, creative, and dynamic in our programs, and our graduates possess the qualities of leadership and engagement necessary to be successful in today’s changing world.

 Today, more than ever, the emphasis is on excellence in education—both for the teachers coming from academic institutions and for the students they’ll engage. If you are seeking a career that is rewarding, inspiring, and fulfilling, I encourage you to consider joining us in The Faculty of Education.
