THE SUNO TRADITION

   SUNO is an accredited four-year university that awards associate's, bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Seventy-five percent of our faculty have terminal degrees.
   The university includes the Department of General Studies, School of Social Work, and the Colleges of Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Education, and Science.
   Our graduate program awards master’s degrees in social work, criminal justice, education, computer science and museum studies.
   SUNO is an open admissions university. We accept quality students who have earned their high school diploma or G.E.D. and taken the ACT. Prospective students are also required to complete a university application, pay a $5 application fee and submit an immunization record. Males must be registered with the Selective Service.

A HISTORY OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

   Established in 1959, SUNO is one of five universities that make up the Southern University System — the only historically black university system in America. Though it actively recruits and admits qualified students without regard to race, color, origin, religion, age, sex, or physical handicap, SUNO historically educates African-Americans.
   Some of SUNO’s distinguished graduates include a juvenile court judge, state representatives, doctors, clergy, attorneys, educators, executives, civil rights activists, business owners and professionals, ranking law enforcement officials, artists, and university administrators.

SUNO RISING!

SUNO gained international attention in 2005 when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated New Orleans and flooded the university's campus. It wasn’t the destruction of the campus that brought worldwide attention to SUNO, however. The university was resolved, the students were determined and the alumni were dedicated to continuing their tradition of academic excellence, even in the wake of the disaster.
   Within six months of the hurricanes, SUNO – with the help of the university system, the state and federal agencies – established a temporary campus of multiple classroom trailers, a library, an infirmary, a dining hall, a computer lab and housing facilities. This post-disaster process is said to be an exemplary model of efficiency being studied by officials from Japan, Italy and Australia.
   No matter where you are in the world, you have access to the rich tradition of academic excellence at SUNO.
