'''Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee''' was one of the predecessor institutions of the [[University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee]].

Founded in [[1885]] as '''Milwaukee State Normal School''', it became '''Milwaukee State Teacher’s College''' in 1927, and '''Wisconsin State College–Milwaukee''' in 1951. Originally at a downtown site, the Normal School subsequently moved to the Lakeside campus. In [[1956]], it became part of the [[University of Wisconsin (former)|then University of Wisconsin]], and subsequently the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's primary (Eastside) campus.

==History==

Milwaukee State Normal School opened for classes in 1885 in a specially constructed building on the corner of 18th and Wells streets, with six teachers and 46 students. At the beginning, Milwaukee State Normal School was a teacher preparation school for [[Milwaukee]]'s soaring population at that time. After the turn of the century, the school introduced several new areas of study including [[liberal arts]] and [[music]] education. In 1909, the school moved to the new Kenwood campus, on which had been erected a single building which would later be named ''Mitchell Hall''. The north wing opened three years later. After moving to the new site, the school also began to offer even wider curriculum including [[agriculture]], [[home economics]], [[commerce]], [[journalism]], [[pre-medical]] and [[pre-law]]. The broadened curriculum proved to be popular and accounted for over one-third of the enrollment. Milwaukee State Normal School continued to grow after absorbing the Milwaukee School of Art and, in 1913, the school of music.

The broadened curriculum, however, was attacked by the Carnegie Endowment for the Advancement of Teachers, arguing that [[normal school]]s should not stray from their role as trainers of teachers. In 1922, the State Normal School Regents voted to discontinue college courses in an effort to refocus on the instruction of teachers. The Milwaukee State Normal School then began to offer education-related four year degrees. In 1927, the Milwaukee State Normal School changed its name to the Milwaukee State Teacher’s College. Known for its innovative and experimental programs in teacher education, the Milwaukee State Teacher’s College was a national prominence at that time and was considered one of the top teacher training colleges in the nation by the 1940s.

In 1951, when the Legislature empowered all state colleges to offer liberal arts programs, the Milwaukee State Teacher's College changed its name to Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee, which became part of [[University of Wisconsin (former)|then University of Wisconsin]] five years later.
