Teachers College is an academic college of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Teachers College is housed in a 10-story building, the tallest in Delaware County. It houses six academic departments: Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services, Educational Leadership, Educational Psychology, Educational Studies, Elementary Education, and Special Education. Ball State University began as a private teachers college in 1899, the Eastern Indiana Normal School. At this early age all classrooms, residence halls, offices, and dining facilities were located in Ball State University's Administration Building. In 1918 the college, Indiana State Normal School (Eastern Division), was purchased by Muncie industrialists and was given to the state of Indiana, making the teachers college public. In 1922 the campus expanded to several buildings, and the name was changed to Ball Teachers College (1922) and later Ball State Teachers College (1929) to honor the Ball Brothers' dedication to the institution. The Indiana State Teachers College Board governed the school until 1961; a board of trustees was established in 1961 to govern the newly created Ball State College.
