About this School
Norfolk State University, founded 1935, is a historically black university located in Norfolk, Virginia.
 
History
The College, brought to life in the midst of the Great Depression, provided a setting in which the youth of the region could give expressions to their hopes and aspirations. At this founding, it was named the Norfolk Unit of Virginia Union University. In 1942, the College became the independent Norfolk Polytechnic College, and two years later an Act of the Virginia General Assembly mandated that it become a part of Virginia State College. It then became known as Norfolk State College. The College was able to pursue an expanded mission with even greater emphasis in 1956 when another Act of the Legislature enabled the Institution to offer its first Bachelor's degree. The College was separated from Virginia State College and became fully independent in 1969. Subsequent legislative acts designated the institution as a University and authorized the granting of graduate degrees. In 1979, University status was attained. Norfolk State University is an urban institution located in the heart of a metropolitan area with an enrollment of nearly 8,000 and a student-teacher ratio of 22:1.
