Mission

The mission of the Department of Educational Foundations and Research is to provide teaching and advisement to educators and other professionals in research, evaluation, and foundations of education. We provide degrees in foundations and research as well as courses in support of UND's degree programs across the state. We are professional consultants to the University, local, regional, national, and international communities. We conduct, disseminate, and advise on theoretical and empirical research based on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches. We are committed to an interdisciplinary approach and to increasing social justice through teaching, research, and service.
