Eau Claire State Teachers College
Dates
- Existence: 1927 - 1951
Historical Note
In 1927, the name changed from Eau Claire State Normal School to Eau Claire State Teachers College, with authorization to offer four years of higher education and to grant the degree of bachelor of education. In the same year, Eau Claire State Teachers College was accredited by the American Association of Teachers Colleges. In 1937 it was authorized to grant the bachelor of science in education degree. In 1946, 20 acres atop the bluff overlooking the campus were acquired to provide for future physical education facilities. This was the first substantial increase in campus size since the founding of the school. The 1940s also were marked by the institution of programs of orientation for freshmen, the inauguration of the faculty advisement system for upperclassmen, and the advancement of teacher education and extension services. The adoption by the faculty of a philosophy of general education paved the way for accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1950.
