COPPIN STATE COLLEGE Calvin W. Burnett, Ph.D., President 2500 W. North Avenue, Baltimore 21216 Telephone: 383-5910 The Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City established the State Teachers College of Baltimore (Coppin) in 1900 and oper- ated it until the State assumed control by Chapter 296, Acts of 1951. The school became a separate institution in 1909 and received its present name in honor of Fannie Jackson Coppin, a former slave who had purchased her freedom and became the first Negro woman in the United States to receive a college degree. By Chapter 41, Acts of 1963, the college was changed from a teachers college to a State college with the authority to institute liberal arts programs. The college provides a four-year curriculum for training teachers in several fields —early childhood, elementary, adult education, industrial arts, sec- ondary (with major in English, biology, history, chemistry, general science, social studies and mathematics) and Special Education (teach- ing mentally retarded or emotionally disturbed). There is also a liberal arts program with majors in English, history, social science, chemistry, biology, general science, mathematics and law enforcement. Both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees are granted, together with the Master's degree in Special Education, Correctional Education, and Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling.
