About Gifted Education
The Gifted Education program is internationally recognized and attracts scholars from across the United States and from countries around the world. Graduate students work closely with faculty scholars, who prepare them for productive roles in research, teaching, and program development in gifted, creative, and talented studies. Our interdisciplinary approach to research and scholarship provides students with an individualized and holistic graduate education. Students engage in a wide range of experiences that include teaching, research, and P-12 engagement and receive intense mentoring from an involved faculty. Well-prepared graduates enter research and teaching positions at universities as well as leadership positions in local, state, and federal agencies and schools.
