Winston-Salem State University Review


The goal of Winston-Salem State University is to create 21st century graduates known for their leadership qualities and possessing the ability to compete in the changing and highly competitive global economy. Students are engaged in theoretical and experiential learning. They get to work in the community and improve their leadership skills by working amidst a diverse group of people. The college uses advanced technology to prepare students for successful careers in their chosen fields.

Founded by Simon Green Atkins in 1892, as the Slater Industrial Academy, the school began in one room with one teacher and 25 students. The state of North Carolina recognized the school in 1895 and it was chartered by the state in 1897, as the Slater Industrial and State Normal School. In 1925, North Carolina recognized the school’s capabilities and extended the curriculum while chartering it under the name of Winston-Salem Teacher’s College. The college was allowed to confer appropriate degrees and it became the first African-American institution of higher learning.  Further expansions took place over the years, and finally in 1969, it was designated the status of a university and the name of Winston-Salem State University was given.  In 1971, it became one of the 16 institutions under the University of North Carolina.  Today, all students are welcome without any racial, cultural or religious discrimination. Courses are offered both at the North Carolina campus and online.  The school is accredited appropriately for offering the courses it does.  It currently ranks among the best institutions in the South.
