Origins of Salisbury State University began in
1922, when the General Assembly established a
commission to determine a location on the Eastern
Shore for a two-year teachers' college. A site was
selected and the institution opened as the State
Normal School at Salisbury in September 1925.
The School was renamed as the State Teachers
College at Salisbury in 1935, and as Salisbury State
College in 1963. The College became Salisbury
State University in 1988 (Chapter 366, Acts of
1988). That same year, the University became part
of the University of Maryland System (Chapter
246, Acts of 1988).
Nationally accredited, Salisbury State Univer-
sity is a four-year liberal arts university. It offers 36
undergraduate and graduate degree programs to
over 5,900 students. University courses include
four-year undergraduate programs in liberal arts
and sciences; and in the professional fields of busi-
ness administration, education, medical technology,
nursing, respiratory therapy, and social work. In
addition, the University's graduate division offers
master's degree programs in business administra-
tion, education, English, history, nursing, and psy-
chology.
