State University
Grambling,
Louisiana
Grambling
State University emerged from the desire of African-American farmers
in rural north Louisiana who wanted to educate Black children
in the northern and western parts of the state. The 375-acre campus
is nestled in the heart of Grambling, Louisiana, a small but growing
community located in Lincoln Parish. The University is five miles
west of Ruston and is within easy driving distance of the large
cities of Shreveport and Monroe.
Grambling State University
combines all the strengths of a major university with the personality
of a small college, thereby allowing students to grow and learn
in a serene and positive environment. The campus houses students
in its 19 residence halls, enhances and promotes student life
through its impressive student union and bookstore, and appeals
to other areas of life and improvement through buildings such
as the dining hall, library, intramural center, and health center.
More than 800 courses and 68 degree programs are offered at Grambling.
There are five colleges, including an honors college, two professional
schools, a graduate school, and a Division of Continuing Education.
National and local employers recruit graduates from Grambling’s
excellent nursing, computer science, teacher education, and other
programs.
A wide variety of student
clubs and organizations at Grambling ensure that every student
will find an activity of interest. Honor societies, sports, art,
religion, politics, and Greek organizations are just a few of
the organizations that appeal to a diverse group of students.
As a member of one of Grambling’s student organizations,
students learn to give of themselves while participating in worthwhile
campus and community projects.
