Administrative History

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.
