大学 was chartered as Saint Augustine Normal School and Collegiate Institute on July 19, 1867, J牧师. 布林顿·史密斯博士.D., secretary of the Freedman’s Commission of the Protestant Episcopal Church, 以及托马斯·阿特金森牧师, D.D.他是北卡罗来纳教区的主教. Bishop Atkinson became the first president of the Board of Trustees and Dr. 史密斯是第一任校长. The new school opened its doors for instruction on January 13, 1868.

In 1893, the School’s name changed from Saint Augustine Normal School to Saint Augustine’s School. In 1919, 更名为圣奥古斯丁初级学院, the first year in which postsecondary instruction was offered. 该学院于1927年成为一所四年制大学. In 1928, the institution was renamed Saint Augustine’s College. 学士学位最早颁发于1931年.

The College further extended its mission by establishing St. Agnes Hospital and Training School for Nurses to provide medical care for and by African Americans. It was the first nursing school in the state of North Carolina for African-American students, and served as the only hospital to served African Americans until 1960. One of the hospital’s most famous patient to be admitted to St. Agnes was Jack Johnson, the first African-American world heavyweight boxing champion. Johnson was admitted following an accident that ultimately led to his death in 1946. Another “first” Saint Augustine’s University is especially proud of is that the University was the nation’s first historically black university to own an on-campus commercial radio station (WAUG-AM Power 750) and television station (WAUG-TV 168).

从它存在的开始, Saint Augustine’s University has blazed the trails in academics. 女校友 安娜·朱莉娅·库珀, 谁是一位杰出的作家, 教育家、学者, became the fourth African-American woman in united states to earn a doctoral degree. 今天, Saint Augustine’s University is proud of preserving its legacy by continuing to ensure scholars are academically equipped to be the global change agents of tomorrow.
