History

The College of Education began as the Department of Education in the Division of General Science in 1913. There was no degree program created at the time, but students could take the education classes as electives in their junior and senior years to receive Kansas teacher certification. The first curriculum in education was created in 1921 for public school music. Physical education curricula were added in 1925, elementary education in 1952, and secondary education in 1955.

The Department of Education stayed in the Division of General Science when it became the School of Arts and Sciences in 1942. At the University reorganization of 1963 the School of Education was initially formed within the College of Arts and Sciences, but in 1966, it was split and reformed as the College of Education. The College of Education resided in Holton Hall until 1981 when Bluemont Hall was built and became the College’s new home.
