Courses in education have been offered in specific programs throughout the history of the university, and the Board of Visitors approved a Master of Education degree in 1951. A Department of Education was founded in the College of Arts and Sciences starting 1965, and the College of Education was established on July 1, 1971. In 1996, the College of Education merged with the College of Human Resources to form the College of Human Resources and Education, renamed College of Human Sciences and Education in 2002. When the College dissolved in 2003, the education program moved to the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.
The College of Education History Records primarily consist of oral history interviews regarding the history of the College of Education at Virginia Tech. Interviews were conducted in November-December 1989 by the students of Patrick Carlton, Associate Professor of Education at VT. Interviewees were Karl T. Hereford, first dean of the College of Education; Fred J. Brieve; Lyle Kinnear; Richard L. Lynch; Carl McDaniels; and Wayne H. Worner. Materials consist of cassette tapes and transcripts of interviews, interview notes, and correspondence (1970-1972). The collection also includes the report "Developmental Goals and Priorities of the College of Education 1972-1976" and reports by Adriane Robinson about her interview with Worner.
