About the LPC
In 2007, the University of Pittsburgh established a Learning Policy Center and a Learning Science and Policy Ph.D. program to advance ideas that lie at the intersection of policy and learning.
The LPC utilizes the rich talent pool of the School of Education, the Learning Research and Development Center, the Institute For Learning and other regional assets to connect high quality learning research with education policy decision-makers.
