On Feb. 8, 1886 — almost 30 years before Arizona was granted statehood — the Territorial Normal School, Arizona’s first higher education institution, opened its doors to 33 students studying to become teachers in Arizona’s public schools. From its humble beginnings, and throughout becoming Arizona State University and launching more than a dozen new transdisciplinary schools, ASU has maintained a century-plus commitment to educator preparation.
