Page 6 of 51 Historical Highlights Elizabeth City State University was founded on March 3, 1891, when House Bill 383 was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly, establishing a normal school for the specific purpose of “teaching and training teachers of the colored race to teach in the common schools of North Carolina.” The bill was sponsored by Hugh Cale, an African American representative from Pasquotank County. Between 1891 and 1928, curricula and resources were expanded under the leadership of Peter Wedderick Moore. Enrollment increased from 23 to 355 and the faculty from 2 to 15 members by the time Dr. Moore retired as President-Emeritus on July 1, 1928. Under the leadership of John Henry Bias, the second president, who served from July 1, 1928 until his death on July 15, 1939, the institution was elevated from a two-year normal school to a four-year teachers college in 1937. The institution’s name was officially changed to Elizabeth City State Teachers College on March 30, 1939, and the mission was expanded to include the training of elementary school principals for rural and city schools. The first Bachelor of Science degrees in Elementary Education were awarded in May 1939. The number of majors increased between 1959 and 1963 from a single elementary education major to 12 additional academic majors. The college was granted full membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in December 1961. Its accreditation has since been reaffirmed. The name changed from Elizabeth City State Teachers College to Elizabeth City State College by the General Assembly in 1963. Effective July 1, 1969, the college became Elizabeth City State University. In 1971, the General Assembly redefined The University of North Carolina system with sixteen public institutions. Including ECSU, those institutions are constituents of The University of North Carolina (July 1972). Currently, ECSU offers 37 baccalaureate degree programs and four master's degree programs in Elementary Education, Biology, Mathematics and School Administration. ECSU also offers a doctor of pharmacy degree in collaboration with the Eshelman School of Pharmacy (UNC- Chapel Hill). ECSU has earned national acclaim for its academic advances: In 2007, Diverse Issues in Higher Education ranked ECSU #1 among Historically Black Colleges and Universities for its black male student athlete graduation rate. Between 1999 and 2013, ECSU repeatedly earned national acclaim in U.S. News and World Report Magazine's ranking of best colleges in the south. The U.S. News and World Report's 2013 Edition of Best Colleges ranked ECSU as third in the Top Public Schools Regional Colleges (South) category and #20 among the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Elizabeth City State University also ranked #1 among baccalaureate colleges in Washington Monthly's 2012 college rankings. In 2000, ECSU began designing capital improvement projects funded by $46.3 million from the state's Higher Education Bond Referendum. The results were a Physical Education/Field House (2003), University Suites, a residence hall (2004), the Walter N. Henrietta B. Ridley Student Complex (2005). Viking Village, a student residence hall adjacent to the campus main entry, resulted from a universityprivate partnership (September 2004). In July 2004, the NC General assembly allotted $28 million to construct facilities for the Pharmacy Complex which opened in the fall of 2010. Construction of the Willie and Jacqueline Gilchrist Education and Psychology Complex began in July 2010 and was ECSU FACT BOOK 2012-2013
