North Carolina Central University (NCCU or NC Central), is a state-supported liberal arts institution, and is a public, historically black university located in Durham, North Carolina. NCCU was founded by Dr. James E. Shepard in affiliation with the Chautauqua movement in 1909, it was supported by private funds from both Northern and Southern philanthropists. For more than a century, NC Central has prepared students to transform communities. We made the commitment as the nation's first public liberal arts institution for African American students. We sustain it as a future-focused modern university.
