Spurred by the vision of William D. Carlson, the first dean of Nevada Southern, the School of Education was established in 1957. A decade later it became the College of Education under Founding Dean Anthony Saville, offering programs in elementary, secondary, and vocational education and administration. In 1964, the first graduating class of 25 received bachelor's degrees; three years later, nine students received the first master's degrees; and in 1977, five students received doctoral degrees. By 1981, the college had received full accreditation from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. The college moved into its own building, later named for Carlson, in 1972.
The College of Education is committed to creating an intellectual environment that promotes quality instruction, significant research, and professional service. Particular attention is focused on preparing professionals for diverse educational settings and on contributing to educational and pedagogical knowledge through scholarly endeavors. The College provides leadership in both the art and science of educational practice. Furthermore, the College is committed to creating an inclusive learning environment that values and promotes diversity. Collaboration among students, faculty, other professionals, and community members is essential to the College in achieving its goals. Integral to the mission is a dedication to being a premier college of education that serves our dynamic and expanding community, the state, the region, and the nation.
