The College of Education currently has two research centers. In the Center for Research to Practice we generate new knowledge, demonstrating successful application of this knowledge to real life settings, and disseminating practical information to school, community, and family partners. The Center for Developing Urban Educational Leaders will cultivate transformational educational leadership in urban communities by conducting research, developing leadership competencies, and improving leadership practice which enhances student learning and development.

The Centennial School is the only Approved Private School in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that works with children and youth with emotional disturbance without using seclusion time-out and physical restraint.
