College/University of the Week
Grambling State University
Grambling State University opened on November 1, 1901 as the Colored Industrial and Agricultural
School. It was founded by the North Louisiana Colored Agriculture Relief Association, organized in
1896 by a group of African-American farmers who wanted to organize and operate a school for
African Americans in their region of the state.
In response to the Association’s request for assistance, Tuskegee Institute’s Booker T. Washington
sent Charles P. Adams to help the group organize an industrial school. Adams became its founding
president.
In 1905, the school moved to its present location and was renamed the North Louisiana Agricultural
and Industrial School. By 1928, after becoming a state junior college and being renamed the
Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute, the school began to award two-year professional
certificates and diplomas. In 1936, and the curriculum emphasis shifted to rural teacher education;
students were able to receive professional teaching certificates after completing a third academic
year. The first baccalaureate degree was awarded in 1944, in elementary education.
In 1946, the school became Grambling College, named after P.G. Grambling, the white sawmill
owner who had donated the parcel of land where the school was constructed. In addition to
elementary educators, Grambling prepared secondary teachers and added curricula in sciences, liberal
arts and business, transforming the college from a single purpose institution of teacher education into
a multipurpose college. In 1949, the college earned its first accreditation by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
In 1974, the addition of graduate programs in early childhood and elementary education gave the
school a new status and a new name – Grambling State University. The university expanded and
prospered between 1977 and 2000. Several new academic programs were incorporated and new
facilities were added to the 384-acre campus, including a business and computer science building,
school of nursing, student services building, stadium, stadium support facility and an intramural
sports center.
