| History: | The Department of Education at Central Washington University was formally established in 1898 as part of the Department of Psychology, Sociology and Education. Prior to that date, from 1893 to 1898, Education courses were taught as part of the teaching certificate program at the Washington State Normal School (predecessor to Central Washington University). In 1904, the departments name was changed to the Department of Psychology and Education. The Department of Psychology and Education was divided into two separate departments in 1916. Daniel A. Unruh was a professor of education from 1965 to the early 1990s. |
