The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is the umbrella under which the education programs offered by universities and colleges preside. Established in 1876 as the National Bureau of Education, the ED assumed operation in its present form in 1980. The Education Department monitors standards of excellence as well as academics, research and financial aid.
