Education at the University of California-Merced is woven into the fabric of the university through interdisciplinary programs and research initiatives. While not a standalone department, educational studies are primarily housed within the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts and feature dedicated pathways like the CalTeach program for aspiring STEM educators and the Teacher Preparation Program offered through UC Merced Extension. These efforts are deeply connected to the university's mission of serving the Central Valley, focusing on preparing highly qualified teachers and conducting research into learning, development, and educational equity. Students engage with theoretical foundations and gain practical experience, contributing to addressing critical educational needs in the region and beyond.
