Wichita State’s College of Applied Studies returns to College of Education name during centennial year

As the College of Applied Studies at Wichita State marks its centennial, it is honoring its origins by returning to its original name: the College of Education. The name change took effect March 1 and coincides with the college’s 100th year. The update reflects the college’s historical identity and its current academic focus on education and related professional fields.

As part of the transition, the School of Education will become the School of Teaching and Learning, and the department formerly known as Intervention Services and Leadership in Education (ISLE) will be renamed Counseling, Educational Leadership, Educational and School Psychology (CLES).

Academic programs, degrees and faculty remain unchanged.
