There is no doubt that Johnson C. Smith University is poised to become Charlotte’s very own nationally recognized premier independent urban university. Siince its founding in 1867; the institutions history attests to this fact.
Johnson C. Smith University’s narrative of achievements is a compelling story of students and teachers mobilizing intellectual capital for work and investments in productive enterprises throughout the Queen City of the South and beyond her borders.
Johnson C. Smith University will be recognized for a superb faculty, top-quality and highly motivated national and international students, outstanding teaching and learning, an excellent applied research focus, and a comprehensive, cohesive curriculum at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

•
Advising Research Mastery
