Working at FSU

Welcome New Broncos!

Founded in 1867 as the Howard School, by 1877, public funding was granted making Fayetteville State the second oldest publicly funded institution of the UNC system. With more than 7,107 students, of which 5,663 are undergraduate students, FSU strives to create an environment that aims to meet the educational, career, and personal aspirations of its students from rural, military, and other diverse backgrounds. FSU seeks to equip its students with academic and practical knowledge to serve local, state, national, and global communities as enlightened citizens, globally astute leaders, and engaged solution creators. FSU offers 37 bachelor’s degrees, 9 master’s degrees, and 1 doctoral degree. The FSU campus is in the heart of the city, with updated classrooms, two early colleges (high schools), a childcare center, and state of the art facilities for students, faculty, and researchers. In addition, eight residence halls and on-campus apartments create a robust campus community.

Fayetteville is 50 miles away from Raleigh and less than 100 miles away from Wilmington and the Atlantic Ocean; FSU is within driving distance of many of the beaches, mountains, and cities in the coastal South, and the campus community participates in a wide range of cultural and recreational activities in the area. There are multiple events to choose from, including the mid-April Dogwood Festival and Parade, exhibits at the Museum of the Cape Fear, and performances at the Durham Performing Arts Center.
