<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The University of Maryland is the state's flagship university and one of the nation's preeminent public research universities. A global leader in research, entrepreneurship
and innovation, the university is home to more than 37,000 students, 9,000 faculty and staff, and 250 academic programs. Its faculty includes three Nobel laureates, two Pulitzer Prize winners, and 49 members of the national academies. It is a member of the
Association of American Universities and competes athletically as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The College of Education at the University of Maryland is ranked 26th by
<i>US News</i>, with department specialty programs ranked at 14th (Curriculum and Instruction), 16th (Elementary Education), and 17th (Educational Policy). TLPL’s Division of Language, Literacy, and Social Inquiry is home to two centers – the Multilingual
Research Center and the Reading Center – which seek to create an infrastructure for practice and research in the broader community.
