History

On September 15, 1866, the Keystone State Normal School was established on what is now the site of Old Main. The needs of a burgeoning industrialization in the region placed more and more demands on teacher preparation, and in 1928, the institution was designated Kutztown State Teacher’s College and authorized to confer the bachelor’s degree.

Eventually, the area’s need for liberally educated personnel to staff its industries outstripped the need for teachers. In 1960, the Department of Education changed the institution’s name to Kutztown State College and diversified its goals toward “A center for learning for the best possible education of the youth of Pennsylvania in the arts and sciences and preparation of able and dedicated teachers.”

On July 1, 1983, the institution became Kutztown University of Pennsylvania of the State System of Higher Education.

As of Fall 2018, the university enrollment was approximately 8,300 full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students.
