{"product_id":"edinboro-university-dave-obringer-9780738592770","title":"Edinboro University","description":"Edinboro University, chartered in 1856, opened its doors in 1857 as Edinboro Academy. Initially founded, funded, and governed by the citizens of Edinboro, Pennsylvania, the university was established as a response to the community's needs. Since then, the school has persevered through the Civil War, Great Depression, World Wars I and II, fire, controversy, and the constant evolution of public education in Pennsylvania. Each time, the school responded, educating students to meet the needs of society. While a state normal school, Edinboro graduated much-needed teachers. When a college degree became a requirement to teach, Edinboro became a state teacher's college. In the 1960s, when a liberal education was seen as the best form of education, Edinboro became a state college. Later, when Pennsylvania organized its state-owned colleges under the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, Edinboro became a university. Now there are over 100 undergraduate and graduate degrees. From an academy with barely 100 students to a university with over 8,000, Edinboro has made a journey that reflects the growth and challenges of Pennsylvania and the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Obringer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738592773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738592770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Dave Obringer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489220645119,"sku":"9780738592770","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f09f6b2a-9cae-46c3-b6a1-28c063caea5b.jpg?v=1736952927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edinboro-university-dave-obringer-9780738592770","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
