Named for Texas’ greatest hero, Sam Houston State University honors its historical roots through academic excellence. For more than 140 years, SHSU has prepared students for meaningful lives of achievement. Its motto, “The measure of a life is its service,” resonates among its more than 21,000 students, eight colleges, and well beyond its Huntsville roots. Established in 1879, we were the first teacher preparation institute in Texas, and under the leadership of Dean Stacey Edmonson, the college continues our legacy of preparing exceptional educators and our commitment to making a difference in students’ lives. The college is home to four departments and two additional educational environments: Counselor Education, Educational Leadership, Library Science & Technology, and the School of Teaching and Learning; service and research centers; and a charter school. We offer a variety of programs, including a Bachelor’s degree in Education, 13 master’s degrees, six doctoral degrees, 13 certificates, and five certifications. Our specialized programs are accredited, recognized, and award-winning at the state and national levels.
