“Deeds Not Words”

Founded in 1867 by seven black men who paid $136 for two lots on Gillespie Street and eventually built the Howard School, Fayetteville State University today is a constituent of the University of North Carolina system. It has evolved over the years from a teacher’s college to a public, comprehensive, regional institution with a diverse enrollment and offering a full range of degree programs.

Academic Emphasis: 43 baccalaureate, 23 master’s and one doctoral degree programs in arts and sciences, business, economics and education. Some of the newest programs include biotechnology, communications, fine arts, forensic science and information management. The MBA with a healthcare management focus is a joint program between FSU and Cape Fear Valley Health System.

New or Noteworthy: $45.5 million in campus construction and renovation is underway to accommodate additional students. Beginning in fall 2009, students can transfer lower-division credits from the North Carolina Community College System and complete remaining upper-division credits for the general business administration degree entirely online.

Tuition: $9,254.52 (in-state)
$19,598.16 (out-of-state)

Enrollment: 6,301
