History[edit]
Education coursework was first offered at Oregon State in 1909, under the direction of the Department of Industrial Pedagogy. In 1918, Oregon State was designated to serve as Oregon’s center for the preparation of teachers in vocational subjects and was comprised of six areas of instruction including Agricultural Education, Commercial Education, Education, Home Economics Education, Industrial Education, and Psychology. In 1932, the School of Vocational Education became the School of Education and the focus on instruction expanded to include sciences and mathematics. In 1954, the School of Education began to offer a four-year degree course in Elementary Education and later received national ten-year accreditation in elementary and secondary education and counseling. In 1962, the school offered its first doctorate program in Philosophy in Education, and later, in 2005, the School of Education was renamed OSU’s College of Education.[1]
In 2012, the Department of Science and Mathematics Education merged back into the College of Education creating an integrated college with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). That same year, the college’s building, Education Hall, was renovated and renamed Joyce Collin Furman Hall after a generous donor.[1]
In 2018, the College of Education celebrated its centennial.[1]
