History of CU Teacher Education at Campbellsville University

Teacher education was one of the founding programs of this institution when the Russell Creek Academy was established in 1906. The Academy began providing normal school teacher training along with elementary and secondary classes in 1907 and had trained 350 teachers by 1917.

College courses with normal and business departments started after the Russell Creek Academy became Campbellsville Junior College in 1924. Later, the Education Department began offering B.S. degree programs in elementary and secondary education after Campbellsville College became a four-year institution in 1957.

The education program continued to grow and achieve becoming the Professional Studies Division in 1973 and then the School of Education in 1998. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education accredited the School of Education in 2007 and an Alpha Epsilon Omicron chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in education, was started in 2009.
