College of Education Research Center


We strongly believe that scholarship activities form the central responsibility that distinguishes university faculty from other professionals. It is this belief that served as the catalyst for the creation of the COE Research Center (COERC). The COERC facilitates faculty scholarship that reflects the goals of the college and the many professional disciplines comprising the college. While the COERC provides direct service to COE faculty, it also provides research resources to our students. Watch our informative video to learn more.

About the COERC

The mission of the College of Education Research Center is to facilitate faculty productivity in research activities that contribute to the goals of the College of Education at Northern Arizona University and to the many professional disciplines comprising the college.
