Each of the departments has an executive committee and chairman. The educational, research, and public service programs of the College of Education had been administered under nine divisions, which had informal status, and five other administrative units. The Department of History and Philosophy of Education offered courses for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.1 The Department of Educational Policies Studies was first listed in 1974.
