Read about our history:
The bachelor’s degree in education is the oldest professional degree at Georgia Southern, and from 1924 to 1955, the entire institution focused exclusively on preparing future teachers.

With reorganization of the institution’s academic divisions in 1968, the School of Education was created to consolidate the teacher education programs.

In 1990, Georgia Southern received university status, and two years later all “school” designations were changed to “college” thereby establishing the College of Education.

In 1992, the College of Education initiated the university’s first doctoral program, the Doctorate of Education, which was also the first doctorate to be offered by an institution located in South Georgia.
