Penn State College of Education
The Future We Demand, Demands Action
Programs & Degrees
Education should never be passive. It challenges, disrupts, shapes, reshapes, empowers, motivates. It lifts voices and opens doors. It plants the seeds of sustainable communities in classrooms, drives policies that transform lives, and provides services that help people become the fullest version of themselves. Education is both the path toward the future we imagine and the means by which we reach it. And the future we demand, demands action!
At the Penn State College of Education, we don’t just imagine a more just and sustainable world — we’re building it together. We are a college of human impact. We are a bold, relentless pride of learners, researchers, and changemakers with the courage to ask the hard questions, confront the system, and reimagine what learning could be — affecting every person we can, everywhere we can.
This isn’t business as usual.
This is education reimagined — purposeful, critical, and just.
Purposeful. Critical. Just.
Because the future won’t wait — and neither will we.
