Coppin
State University
Baltimore,
Maryland
Coppin State University
is a model urban, residential liberal arts university located
in the northwest section of the City of Baltimore that provides
academic programs in the arts and sciences, teacher education,
nursing, graduate studies, and continuing education. An HBCU (Historically
Black Colleges and Universities), Coppin has a culturally rich
history as an institution providing quality educational programs
and community outreach services. Coppin offers 53 majors and nine
graduate-degree programs. A fully accredited institution, Coppin
serves Baltimore residents as well as students from around the
world, with flexible course schedules that include convenient
day, evening, and weekend classes and distance learning courses.
Coppin was
founded in 1900 at what was then called Colored High School (later
named Douglass High School) on Pennsylvania Avenue by the Baltimore
City School Board who initiated a one-year training course for
the preparation of African-American elementary school teachers.
By 1902, the training program was expanded to a two-year Normal
Department within the high school, and seven years later it was
separated from the high school and given its own principal.
The student
population is comprised of nearly 4,000 students who are enrolled
in day, evening and weekend undergraduate/graduate courses. Many
are Baltimore residents from very diverse ethnic, religious and
socio-economic backgrounds. Coppin has graduated thousands of
alumni who are making a tremendous impact in the State of Maryland
in various fields, particularly Human Services.
Now, and in the years
to come, Coppin State University will continue to help bring the
dreams of its students to fruition through its educational programs,
reach beyond its campus to help the community, and serve the citizens
of Baltimore, the State of Maryland, and the nation.
