A History of Excellence
The College of Education and Human Development at Texas A&M University has been transforming lives for 50 years.
We officially opened our doors under the direction of Dr. Frank W.R. Hubert on September 1, 1969. With 1,307 students, and faculty from across the nation, the college was soon heralded as a premier school for teacher preparation in the nation.
Now the 4th largest college at Texas A&M University with over 6,000 enrolled students, we are not just a school for teachers. We are a school for leaders in not just in education, but also business, sport, health, and government.
