Fort Valley State University
Fort Valley State University (FVSU; formerly Fort Valley State College) is a public land-grant historically black university in Fort Valley, Georgia, United States. It is part of the University System of Georgia and a member-school of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
Fort Valley State University is the state's 1890 land-grant university and enrolls over 2,500 students. Approximately 90% of the student body is of African-American descent. The university is located in the town of Fort Valley in Peach County. Its 1,365-acre (5.52 km2) main campus is Georgia's largest public university in area.
Fort Valley State University, was founded as Fort Valley State College in 1939. It began with the 1939 consolidation of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School (founded in 1890, chartered in 1896), and the State Teachers and Agricultural College of Forsyth (founded in 1902). Both schools had been founded privately, and were affiliated with the American Missionary Association; they were transferred to state control and operation, to form Fort Valley State College.
In 1947, the state Board of Regents adopted a resolution moving the "land grant" designation from Georgia State College (later Savannah State University) to Fort Valley State College. In response to the Regents' resolution, in 1949 the Georgia General Assembly officially designated the Fort Valley State College as the Land-Grant College for Negroes in Georgia. During this time, public education was segregated due to Jim Crow laws.
The school became Fort Valley State University, a state and land-grant university, in June 1996.[citation needed]
The president of Fort Valley State University is the chief executive officer of the university. Paul Jones has held the position since 2015. The complete list of presidents includes:
Fort Valley State University offers bachelor's degrees in more than 50 majors, as well as master's degrees in several fields of study.[citation needed] FVSU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award associate, baccalaureate, master's and specialist degrees.[citation needed]
The university also offers the Cooperative Developmental Energy Program (CDEP) which provides an opportunity for qualified students to receive a STEM degree from FVSU and an engineering degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Texas at Austin, Pennsylvania State University, University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, or University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley.
