University
of the District of Columbia
Washington,
DC
The University
of the District of Columbia is the only public institution of
higher education in the District of Columbia. Chartered in 1974
from three other institutions of higher learning, this Historically
Black College/University maintains an open admissions policy,
and is the only urban land-grant institution in the nation.
The University fulfills
many missions in serving the citizens of the District of Columbia.
Responsive to the occupational needs of District residents, the
University is not only a graduate and baccalaureate degree granting
institution, it is also a community college. Ever mindful of these
responsibilities, the University continues to design programs
and produce competitive graduates in response to the needs of
the District.
The University also
offers courses designed to upgrade the skills of District residents
who are already on the job or who wish to become more competitive
to qualify for jobs. Also, as an urban land-grant institution,
the University ensures that its core charge of teaching, research,
and public service, as specified in the Morrill Act, is in vanguard
for improving the quality of life of the residents of the District
of Columbia.
And as an open admissions
university, the University provides broad opportunities for a
diverse student population -- for those under-prepared as well
as for those adequately prepared for higher education -- to enable
them to become productive citizens with marketable skills. The
University believes that its role in developing the under-prepared
student is critical to the success of its students as well as
to the future financial health and well-being of the District
of Columbia.
