Facts
Johnson C. Smith University is a private, four-year liberal arts institution
with an innovative curriculum, a reputation for outstanding faculty, and
a dedication to quality education.
It is the first Historically Black University to become an IBM ThinkPad
University. Starting August 2000, all students will be issued mobile computers
that will be integrated into the schools curriculum.
Founded in 1867, JCSU offers academically progressive programs, which are
aimed at preparing students for excellence in the next millennium. Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Social Work degrees are available.
With an enrollment of approximately 1,400 students, the University takes
pride in its small classes and family like atmosphere with a student/faculty
ratio of 16:1.
The University completed its "Vision Shared: Campaign for the ‘90s" capital
campaign raising $63.8 million with an original goal of $50 million. It
completes the largest goal of any nonprofit in the Charlotte metropolitan
area. It also marks the most successful capital campaign among any Historically
Black College or University (HBCU) in the Carolinas and the second largest
campaign completed among all HBCUs.
One of the goals reached from the campaign is completion of a New Technology
Center. Mathematics, Science, and Computer Technology are housed in the
newly constructed $4 million facility.
The campaign also benefits the James B. Duke Memorial Library which has
been renovated and construction of the new track and field/stadium academic
complex.
