Comprehensive, public, historically Black university, NCCU was chartered in 1909 as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua. In 1923, the state of North Carolina purchased and it became known as Durham State Normal School. Two years later, the General Assembly redefined the mission of the school, naming it the North Carolina College for Negroes. NCCU was the nation's first state-supported liberal arts college for African American students.
