Virginia University of Lynchburg, Private university for African American students in Lynchburg, United States.
Virginia University of Lynchburg is a private institution serving African American students in Lynchburg, Virginia. The campus holds three main academic buildings with classrooms and laboratories, spread across an area of roughly 7 acres (2.8 hectares).
The institution began in 1886 as a Baptist seminary and underwent several name changes over the decades. It adopted its current name in 1996 after expanding its focus to include secular and religious study programs.
The institution carries a name reflecting its geographic location and roots in African American education. Many programs connect religious themes with fields like public administration or management of nonprofit organizations.
Visitors should note that the campus is compact and walkable for exploration. The institution also maintains smaller satellite locations across other Virginia cities for regional study programs.
Since 2010 the institution has partnered with Liberty University to give students access to degree programs not offered on this campus. This cooperation expands academic options without relocating the existing teaching operations.
