The Towson. State College was originally established as the State's
first normal school by Chapter 160, Acts of 1865. Located for nearly
fifty years in Baltimore, it was moved to its present suburban loca-
tion at Towson in 1915 where it occupies a campus of 100 acres. In
1935 it became a four-year teachers college and in 1963 a general
State college.

The college currently offers programs both in teacher education
and in the arts and sciences. Graduates in teacher education may be
prepared for teaching in the kindergarten, elementary, junior high or
senior high grades. Students enrolled in the program of arts and
sciences may qualify in any one of several major fields for a Bachelor
of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree. The college also offers a
program of graduate studies for teachers leading to the degree of
Master of Education. An extension program of evening courses is
available to teachers and other persons in the community who wish
part-time evening instruction and a summer session is operated for
both graduates and undergraduates.

Students enrolling in the four-year curriculum for prospective
teachers pay no tuition if they are residents of Maryland and promise
to teach in the public schools of the State following their graduation.
The total number of students enrolled in the college for the academic
year 1962-63 was 1,996.
