Earliest known photograph of John Sutton Hall

From Normal School to University

It was known as Indiana Normal School when it was founded in 1875. The one building everything was originally housed in, John Sutton Hall, still stands today as the heart of the 亚色影库 campus, and it is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Over the years, the school’s name changed as it grew, from Indiana State Teachers College in 1920, when it was awarded the right to grant degrees; to Indiana State College in 1959; and finally to 亚色影库 in 1965. Its first doctoral program was offered in 1969.

PASSHE

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education was created in 1983. 亚色影库 has consistently ranked as one of its largest schools, and it was the first of its universities to offer doctoral degrees. It is still the only school in the State System to offer graduate instruction at the doctoral level (PhD).
