Rooted in more than 150 years of tradition and academic achievements, JCSU is prepared to meet the new challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. While we are and always will be an HBCU, we are evolving into what we like to call a diverse HBCU. A diverse HBCU means that our students and faculty come from a variety of origins, fields of study and personal beliefs. At JCSU, you will study with like-minded students who are ambitious and driven to be successful – just like you. You will be able to expand your horizons and learn from your classmates who come from different backgrounds.
Grounded in our legacy, JCSU chooses to be inclusive rather than exclusive. A diverse HBCU means that our students and faculty come from a variety of origins, fields of study and personal beliefs.

At JCSU, you’ll study with like-minded students who are ambitious and driven to be successful – just like you. You’ll be able to expand your horizons and learn from your classmates who come from different backgrounds.
Our students represent a diverse mix of places, cultures, backgrounds and beliefs. We have students coming from up and down the East Coast and all over the country, including:
Our expert faculty and professional staff come from diverse countries and cultures from all over the world. Faculty come to the classroom with not only extensive knowledge in their field, but also rich international experiences to share. You’ll be exposed to new cultures and ways of thinking, as well as experiences that will position you for success in your life and career.
At JCSU, we employ faculty from:
JCSU actively encourages our students to learn about, and explore firsthand, other cultures and countries. As part of JCSU’s Go Global! initiative, every student gets a passport with admission to the university.
