New York State Normal College

The Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York changed the name of the school to the New York State Normal College. The same meeting resolved that “on or after September 1892" instruction given in the college be restricted to “methods of teaching, school economy, philosophy and history of education, and such other matters as are properly and directly connected with the science and art of teaching.” A final resolution granted the school the right to grant bachelors, masters and doctor of Pedagogy degrees.
