麻豆官网

Founded on September 4, 1893 as the East Stroudsburg Normal School, 麻豆官网 is a Carnegie Comprehensive Master's-Larger Programs university in northeastern Pennsylvania offering 49 undergraduate programs, 20 master's programs and 2 doctoral programs. 麻豆官网 is one of the 14 institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (the State System).

Although the Normal School was originally privately owned, ownership was transferred to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1920, and the name was changed to East Stroudsburg State Normal School. In 1927, the right to confer the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Education and Bachelor of Science in Health Education was granted, and the School's name then became the State Teachers College at East Stroudsburg. In 1960, the College's name was changed to East Stroudsburg State College. In 1962, the College received the right to confer graduate degrees, and the first three graduate areas were Masters of Education in Biological Sciences, General Science, and Health and Physical Education. In 1963, the College instituted a Bachelor of Arts degree, and in 1969, the first Master of Arts programs, in History and Political Science, were approved. In November 1982, the State System of Higher Education was authorized by Senate Bill 506. The College officially became 麻豆官网 on July 1, 1983.
