Our undergraduate and graduate students can choose from many innovative areas of study designed to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to develop creative solutions to today’s—and tomorrow’s—complex problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinston-Salem State University was founded as the Slater Industrial Academy by Simon Green Atkins on September 28, 1892. Atkins had an audacious vision to create an institution where every student would meet the challenges of the day equipped with an education designed to intellectually prepare the “head, hand, and heart.” Twenty-five students attended classes in a one-room frame structure and were taught by a single instructor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, the General Assembly of North Carolina recognized the school’s curriculum above high school, changed its name to Winston-Salem Teachers College, and empowered it under authority of the State Board of Education to confer appropriate degrees. Winston-Salem Teachers College thus became the first black institution in the nation to grant degrees for teaching the elementary grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn response to a growing medical community emerging in the Winston-Salem area, the School of Nursing was established in 1953, awarding graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science. In recognition of the university’s growing curriculum and expanding role, the North Carolina General Assembly of 1963 authorized changing the name from Winston-Salem Teachers College to Winston-Salem State College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its founding in 1892, Winston-Salem State University has grown from a one-room frame structure to more than 39 buildings located on a picturesque 117-acre campus overlooking the woodlands of Salem Lake in the heart of Winston-Salem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWSSU is nationally ranked for its affordability, value, and for helping our graduates achieve social mobility, which can be a change in a person's socio-economic situation throughout their lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In 2023 and 2024 WSSU received multiple accolades for its affordability and positive impact on our graduates’ futures.
