History
Wanting teachers in the state to be better trained, officials opened the Central Michigan Normal School on September 13, 1892. 31 students met in one building that day. The school was renamed the Central State Teacher's College in 1927. In 1941, it became the Central Michigan College of Education, and then the Central Michigan College in 1955 before getting the present name in 1959.
