  • University Mission University Goals History of Sam Houston
    UNIVERSITY MISSION Sam Houston State University is an inclusive institution whose mission is to provide high quality education, scholarship, and service to students and to regional, state, national, and international constituencies. UNIVERSITY GOALS • Promote students’ intellectual, social, ethical, and leadership growth. • Pursue continuous improvement. • Recruit and retain qualified, dedicated faculty and staff. • Recruit, motivate, and retain qualified students. • Provide the necessary library, technology, and other facilities to support quality instruction, research, and public service. • Promote scholarly and research activities that contribute to knowledge and understanding. • Promote and support diversity and provide equitable opportunities for underrepresented groups. • Offer a wide range of preprofessional, baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral programs. • Promote cooperation with educational institutions, government and non-profit agencies, and the pri- vate sector HISTORY OF SAM HOUSTON STATE UNIVERSITY Established in 1879, SHSU was the first institution in Texas dedicated to the training of teachers. In response to actions by the Sixteenth Legislature, Governor Oran Milo Roberts authorized the establishment of Sam Houston Normal Institute on April 21, 1879. On October 10, 1879, the institution opened its doors for instruc- tion to 110 students. Austin Hall occupied by Austin College in 1852, provided classrooms for the first classes. Since 1879, SHSU has seen three name changes and eleven presidents serve the student body. The original name of Sam Hou- ston Normal Institute was changed to Sam Houston State Teachers College in 1923, then to Sam Houston College in 1965 and finally, in 1969, to Sam Houston State University. Although the training of teachers continues to be an important function, the university is currently authorized to offer 79 undergraduate degree programs, 59 graduate degree programs including the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Criminal Justice, Education, and is in the process of adding a Doctoral Program in Business.
