53 University History

Mankato Normal School opened as the state’s second teacher training school in 1868 in downtown Mankato with 27 students. Tuition was free in return for a student’s pledge to teach two years in Minnesota’s schools. Old Main was constructed in 1870, and this marked the beginning of the Valley Campus that would serve the institution for a century. In the 1880s, the school expanded and curriculum grew. In 1921 the school became Mankato State Teachers College, and in 1927 the institution awarded its first four-year degree, a bachelor of education.

In the late 1950s, the school was renamed Mankato State College, and construction began on the 300-acre Highland Campus. The College maintained two locations for several years. In 1975, the College received full university status. Four years later consolidation on the Highland Campus was complete. In 1998, for the fifth time in its 130-year history, the University adopted a new name to reflect expanded service to Minnesota and the nation. Minnesota State University, Mankato continues to gain renown for the quality of its programs and the breadth of its service.

Dr. Richard Davenport, appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, assumed his responsibilities as the University’s twelfth president on July 1, 2002. Under Dr. Davenport’s leadership, the University has embraced new strategic priorities; engaged in an academic master planning process; examined its commitment to diversity, and begun to take action to become a more inclusive and welcoming campus; and told our story further and wider than ever before, to legislators, leaders, parents, and alumni throughout the state and the nation.

Minnesota State Mankato offers more than 130 undergraduate programs and more than 85 graduate programs, including masters, specialist and doctoral programs. Our 15,000 students — including more than 1,100 international students from more than 90 countries — and 2,000 faculty and staff represent cultural diversity and a rich mix of intellectual and creative perspectives. Our alumni live and work around the globe, making professional and personal contributions that bring the proud Maverick tradition to new heights.

Minnesota State University, Mankato turns 150 on October 7, 2018—the anniversary of the first day of classes at Mankato Normal School in 1868.

In July 1868, the State Normal School Board authorized the establishment of the second State Normal School in Mankato (the first was in Winona) after the community raised the $5,000 required by state statute. Since then the school has changed names four times. Most of those name changes happened in conjunction with the evolution of the degrees that the school offered, from the first bachelor’s degrees in the 1920s to doctoral degrees in the 2000s. In 1998, the name changed to Minnesota State University, Mankato to reflect the growing national and international presence of the University’s programs.

The University’s physical presence has evolved over the past 150 years as well. In 1870, the Mankato State Normal School building was completed in downtown Mankato. That building, known as Old Main, served as the only campus building until the Laboratory School was built in 1909. Since then more than 40 academic buildings, residence communities, libraries, research facilities, athletic spaces, and a student union have been constructed. The most recent buildings were opened in 2017: the Clinical Sciences Building and the University Dining Center.

Today, Minnesota State Mankato offers more than 130 programs of study—including more than 85 master’s doctoral and certificate programs. It has become known as a university where people expect to go further than they thought possible by combining knowledge and the passion to achieve great things—where big ideas meet real-world thinking.

Please join us in celebrating the University’s sesquicentennial over the next several months. Myriad events have been planned leading up to the actual anniversary, including a week-long celebration that will kick off with a special Homecoming parade in downtown Mankato on September 29, 2018, and culminate with a party on campus on Saturday, October 6. For more information about the sesquicentennial celebrations, please visit www.mnsu.edu/150/.
