Biographical / historical:

The College of Education was among the first individual colleges established at the University of Central Florida (formerly Florida Technological University). Although it initially lacked a dedicated building, the college's size was considerable, boasting a large number of students and staff. Later, in 1976, the Educational Teaching Gymnasium (now the Education Complex) was built and became home to the College of Education. In 2003, the Teaching Academy (TA) building was completed, providing the bulk of classrooms and offices for College of Education faculty, staff, and students.

From 1993 to 2010, the College of Education established and administered SUNLINK, a Florida Department of Education-funded project that converted public school library collections into machine-readable format and created an online database that promoted resource sharing across K-12 school library media centers in Florida. In 2004, the Toni Jennings Exceptional Education Department was established with the ongoing mission of supporting students with disabilities and educating future teachers of children and adults with disabilities. In 2007, the College of Education celebrated its 40th anniversary.
