Savannah
State University
Savannah,
Georgia
For 116 years, Savannah
State University has been an important part of higher education.
As the oldest public HBCU in Georgia and the oldest institution
of higher learning in the historic city of Savannah, SSU has served
this community with distinction while meeting the educational
needs of an increasingly diverse student population.
The 173-acre campus
is by far the most picturesque in the state of Georgia. The moss-laden
sweeping oak trees, expansive marsh and historic architecture
create a resplendent yet tranquil atmosphere. Beneath the beauty
and splendor is a vibrant residential campus bursting at the seams
with the vim and vigor of quality collegiate life: relevant academic
majors, engaging lectures, cutting-edge research, quality student-faculty
engagement and a nurturing environment.
Long the keystone institution
in the African-American community of coastal Georgia, Savannah
State University, serves a critical function by preserving, interpreting,
and transmitting the African-American legacy to future generations.
It accomplishes this in the context of a student-centered state-of-the-art
curriculum emphasizing the liberal arts combined with technological
mastery and social science competence suitable for the world culture
of the 21st century.
The university is building
upon its historic role to provide a contemporary higher education
opportunity for traditional and non-traditional students from
the larger community, regardless of race, and is doing so while
working to elevate the social, cultural, and economic conditions
of its external community and stakeholders. Savannah State University
tempers the learning experience with a blend of scholarship, research,
community service, a passion for excellence, and an unwavering
commitment to community development.
