Southern University at New Orleans is an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is part of the Southern University System, the only HBCU system in the world. It is often referred to by its initials SUNO. Other campuses of the Southern University System are Southern University and Agriculatural & Mechanical College, Southern University at Shreveport, the Southern University Law Center and the Southern University Agricultural Extension. The university's first chancellor was Dr. Emmett W. Bashful, who remains the institution's chancellor emeritus. SUNO was established on September 4, 1956 and opened its doors on September 21, 1959 adjacent to the historic Pontchartrain Park neighborhood, a subdivision historically made up of African-American single-family residences in eastern New Orleans and the first African-American subdivision in America. Like most of New Orleans, the campus experienced extensive flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Hurricane Rita also caused damage to all eleven of the buildings on the 17-acre campus. The university is an open admission institution until the fall of 2010 when it will become a Louisiana "Selective III" institution. At that time potential students will have to complete the Louisiana Board of Regents high school core curriculum. In addition candidates will need at least a high school grade point average of 2.0 or an ACT composite score of at least 20 or the SAT equivalent of 950. Students requiring more than one remedial course will not be eligible for immediate admission.

Mission Statement

The mission of Southern University at New Orleans is to create and maintain an environment conducive to learning and growth, to promote the upward mobility of all people by preparing them to enter into new as well as traditional careers, and to equip them to function optimally in the mainstream of the American society. The mission of the University was expanded in 1981 when it was authorized to award the Master of Social Work degree. The University provides a sound education tailored to special needs of students coming to an open admissions institution and prepares students for full participation in a complex and changing society. The University offers a liberal education directed toward the achievement of higher literacy and a broad intellectual development, which in turn serves asa foundation for training in one of the professions. The SUNO ideal is thus a harmony of the general and special aspects of learning. It aims at both immediate and long-range rewards.
