History
Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) is a four-year, private, coed, liberal arts institution that is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. Founded in 1867 as Biddle Memorial Institute, JCSU is one of the oldest historically black institutions in the United States. The first baccalaureate degrees were awarded in 1872, and the name was changed to Biddle University in 1876. The present name was given in 1923.
Originally intended as an institute of higher learning for men, it became coeducational in 1941. JCSU’s mission is to provide an environment in which men and women may realize their individual potential for intellectual, social, spiritual, emotional, and physical growth and well being. JCSU carries out this mission by providing exciting, relevant, and future-oriented curriculum and programs. The University also looks backward to celebrate the unique heritage of blacks by instilling racial and ethnic pride as students learn about their history and the unique achievements and contributions of black Americans. JCSU helps its students to understand and adopt a sense of social consciousness and civic responsibility. The School boasts that it is one of the best kept secrets in higher education.
The 100-acre campus houses forty-six buildings. Biddle Memorial Hall, an historic landmark with Romanesque revival architecture, adds a traditional flavor to an eclectic mix of different architectural styles.
