St. Augustine’s College

“Transform, Excel, Lead”

Affectionately known as “St. Aug’s,” the college opened its doors in the heart of Raleigh in 1867 under the auspices of the Episcopal Church, with whom it remains affiliated today. It is a private, 4-year, liberal arts college with about half of its enrollment coming from out of state. It was the first HBCU in the nation to have its own on-campus commercial radio and television stations.

Academic Emphasis: Liberal arts, with additional bachelor’s degree programs in business, computer science, teacher education sports management, communication, Christian ministry, biology, mathematics, engineering (including a dual degree program with North Carolina State University), and criminal justice. Students in the Center for Real Estate Management and Development can fulfill educational requirements for the North Carolina broker’s pre-licensing course and the Accredited Residential Manager certification awarded by Institute of Real Estate Management of the National Association of Realtors.

New or Noteworthy: The track and field program, under the leadership of coach George Williams, has produced 33 Olympians, including three gold medalists. The track and field teams have won more than 30 NCAA championships and more than 150 CIAA championships. Williams was head coach for the men’s 2004 Olympic track team.
