Teacher preparation at SDSU dates from 1904 and has undergone a number of changes over the years. Now referred to as Teacher Education, the Teaching, Learning, and Leadership program was created in 2009 when departments that were formerly part of the College of Education and Counseling and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences were combined to form the College of Education and Human Sciences. In 2023, the program began offering undergraduate majors in Elementary Education and Special Education.
