The School of Education can trace its history at UC Davis to the
training of agricultural education teachers during the early
years of the campus. Agricultural and Environmental Education
continues to be a dynamic part of the campus with both teaching
credential and doctoral programs offered through the School of
Education in partnership with the College of Agricultural &
Environmental Sciences. CA&ES is recognized as a world
leader in fields such as environmental sciences, nutrition &
food science, animal & plant sciences, and viticulture &
enology through its 314 faculty, 5600 students, and 80
cooperative extension specialists.
UC Davis
Extension offers educators a diverse range of
intensive-format classes, in-depth learning through certificate
programs, courses for credentials, and programs that will help
build bridges between student and teacher.
Mathematics and Science
Teaching Program at UC Davis (MAST) is part of the UC
Science and Mathematics Initiative. This program builds on
the long-standing partnership between the School of Education and
the departments of geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and
the College of Biological Sciences to offer undergraduates
courses and classroom internship opportunities to explore middle
and high school math and science teaching careers. MAST’s mission
is to increase the number and quality of math and science
teachers.
The School is collaborating with the UC Davis MIND
Institute and St. HOPE Public Schools to establish an early
childhood education center in the Oak Park neighborhood of
Sacramento. The UC Davis M.I.N.D. (Medical Investigation of
Neurodevelopmental Disorders) Institute is a unique collaborative
center for research on the causes, treatments, preventions and,
ultimately, cures for neurodevelopmental disorders.
