St. Augustine's University, Private university in Raleigh, North Carolina
St. Augustine's University is a private institution north of Downtown Raleigh that offers programs in arts, business, and education. The campus covers a large area with brick buildings and green spaces between the faculty facilities.
Episcopal clergy established the institution in 1867 as St. Augustine's Normal School to provide education for formerly enslaved people. Over the decades the school evolved through several name changes into the university it is today.
The campus emerged from the work of Episcopal clergy who sought to provide education after the Civil War. Today it continues to draw students from across the nation who find a place rooted in African American learning traditions.
The campus sits north of the city center and is accessible via Oakwood Avenue. Small class sizes define the teaching approach, and students can apply for financial support through the admissions office.
The university operated the first commercial radio and television stations owned by a historically black college. This opened new pathways for media professionals and students in broadcasting fields.
