History & Fun Facts

  • History Establishment The Wisconsin State Constitution, ratified in 1848, called for a state university as well as a teacher training department in that school.
  • In 1857 a Normal School Board of Regents was established to allocate funds to institutions in the state that supported teacher training.
  • Madison's teacher training program (called the Normal Department) separated and rejoined the university twice (1860 and 1863) due to fluctuating Civil War-era interest in teacher education.
