Inspiring Minds video

A simple series of lectures on pedagogy in the 1880s laid the foundation for the College of Education and Human Development as it exists today. Officially founded on December 12, 1905, the college continues to evolve, moving from those early lectures to a college of 4,000 students in more than 50 fields of study related to education and human development. The college enters the 21st century committed to meet the ever-changing needs of those who are learning and developing, whatever their ages, and whatever the setting—home, school, work, community. Today the college is recognized as an invaluable, world-class asset throughout Minnesota, the nation, and across the globe.
