The mission of the University of Northern Iowa's Center for Educational Transformation (CET) is to conduct and support basic research, translational research, and research to practice studies on the unique and combined effects of education, health, and culture. These studies improve and extend the knowledge and practice base on education, health, and culture for PK-20 populations and their families in Iowa and other national and global communities.

The Center for Educational Transformation closed during the summer 2023.
