History
Michigan State University established its first formal course in education in 1902 called the "History of Education." Over the next fifty years, the Department of Education grew in course offerings and faculty, and became the School of Education in 1952. The next year, in 1953, the school welcomed its first dean, Clifford Erickson. That same year, the Department of Physical Education also became part of the school. In 1985, the College established the National Center for Research on Teacher Education (NCRTE).
The college instituted year-long teaching internships, now characteristic of the college, in 1993. MSU is the only program in Michigan and one of the few nationwide that requires a yearlong teaching internship in a public school.
In 2006 and 2008, the first cohort of urban and global educators began classes, respectively.
The college's current dean, Donald E. Heller, was appointed in January 2012. He leads a vibrant community of scholars, students and staff members who are prepared to meet many of the toughest challenges in education and kinesiology. Also a faculty member in the Department of Educational Administration, Dean Heller's own teaching and research has focused on issues of higher education policy, economics and finance. Before coming to MSU, Heller was a professor of education at Penn State University and director of its Center for the Study of Higher Education. Dean Heller has been particularly interested in studying college access and choice for low-income and minority students.
