The college maintains a research center, the Centre for Educational Research and Development (CERD), which was founded in 2001 with the goal of supporting, encouraging, and cultivating a culture of research and scholarship that leads to improvements in the country's educational programs and practices. CERD publishes Rabsel, a journal, as well as a number of special articles.
