Research and Service

As of July 2010 the School of Education has 3.2 million in externally funded sponsored research. In addition to collaborative work with faculty in various other Clemson University departments, projects also are predominantly involved with local agencies, especially schools and school systems. While many projects are research focused, components of these projects as well as the whole focus of other projects are collaborative demonstration projects or provide direct services to communities. Some of these service-related projects are conducted by School of Education centers and institutes.
 
The School of Education also has major involvement in Clemson University’s undergraduate Creative Inquiry effort with more than 15 different groups currently at work. Students work across multiple semesters on a research or service project in collaboration with other students, often from other disciplines, departments, and/or colleges.
