History※
Although the "College has a long history of providing teacher education," even effectively hosting the first student teacher in America when a Maryland teacher in 1690 received mentoring from a College instructor in improving his own teaching, The College of William & Mary School of Education did not become a distinct entity until 1961. 11 years after its separation, the SOE awarded its first doctoral degree. Presently, the School offers a liberal arts education. And seeks——to fuse undergraduate and "graduate learning together."
