History
Southern University at New Orleans is a four-year, state-supported, coed, liberal arts institution founded in 1959 for the education of African American students. SUNO, a branch and extension of Southern University and A&M University, was created by an act of the state legislature, which later appropriated over $1 billion for the purchase of property, construction, and furnishings.
In 1959, on a 17-acre plot located in the residential community of Pontchartrain Park, SUNO began classes in one building with 158 students. In 1963, the first class received bachelor’s degrees. Ten years later the University was removed from the jurisdiction of the Louisiana State Board of Education and became a branch of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College in Baton Rouge.
As a branch of a land-grant institution, SUNO is committed to providing education to students with heterogeneous abilities and varying academic backgrounds. Its purpose is to prepare students to compete in their respective professions or to pursue advanced study.
SUNO is situated on a 17-acre campus incorporating thirteen buildings, including a 300,000-volume library.
