While education courses meet in many buildings throughout Purdue's campus, the College's administrative offices, as well as those of many staff and faculty members, are located in the [[Beering Hall of Liberal Arts and Education]].

==History==
Purdue University established an [[Education]] Department in 1908, in response to a 1907 [[Indiana]] state law requiring all new [[teacher]]s to have at least 12 [[semester]] hours of professional education. Later, a Division of Education and Applied Psychology would be created and housed in the School of Humanities, Social Science, and Education. In 1989, Purdue officially created the School of Education. The school was renamed the College of Education in 2005.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.education.purdue.edu/about/history_mission.html|title=College of Education - Purdue University<!-- Bot generated title -->|publisher=|accessdate=24 April 2017}}</ref>
