Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire

 Organization

Dates

  • Existence: 1951 - 1964

Historical Note

In 1951, the Board of Regents authorized the college to grant bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in liberal arts, and the official name of the college became Wisconsin State College at Eau Claire. A degree program in medical technology began in 1955; teacher education programs were augmented in 1958 by courses for the training of teachers of special education and by specialization in junior high school and business education. In 1952, a complex of four buildings — campus laboratory school, little theater, education building and field house — was completed, marking the first major campus development since the construction of the original building. Expansion of the college campus was made possible through the gift from the city of Eau Claire of the 200-acre Putnam Park, and the purchase of 23 additional acres for the upper campus in 1958.
