BACKGROUND
Hampton University
is a Historically Black, private, coeducational, nonsectarian
institution of higher education. In 1878, Hampton established a
formal education program for Native Americans, beginning the
Institute's lasting commitment to serving a multicultural
population. Hampton's historic Native American education program
spanned more than forty years, with the last student graduating in
1923. Recent initiatives have attracted Native American students to
renew their ties with Hampton. In the early days, support for the
Institute came from the Freedman's Bureau, Northern philanthropists
and religious groups, with the first classroom building erected in
1870. The first baccalaureate degrees were awarded in 1922. Two
years later, the school's name was changed to Hampton Institute,
reflecting college-level accreditation. In 1984, Hampton's Board of
Trustees formally adopted a university structure and changed the
name to Hampton University, which today represents the unparalleled
standard of excellence in American higher education.
HEALTH RELATED ACADEMIC PROGRAM
The undergraduate and graduate nursing education programs are
designed to include general education content, professional content
and clinical experiences with specializations on the graduate
level. Hampton University's School of Nursing Program was the first
in the local region to earn National League for Nursing
Accreditation, is the oldest continuous baccalaureate nursing
program in Virginia, and established the first Masters and PhD
program in a Historically Black Institution. The university
operates the Hampton University Nursing Center and Health Mobile,
which provides health care services to the community including the
homeless and other displaced populations.
OTHER ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
The University is comprised of six schools: the schools of
Business, Engineering and Technology, Liberal Arts and Education,
Nursing, Pharmacy, and Science; a Graduate College and a College of
Continuing Education. The University offers 38 bachelor's degree
programs, 14 master's degree programs, and the doctoral or
professional degree in nursing (Ph.D.), physics (Ph.D.), physical
therapy (DPT), and pharmacy (Pharm.D.).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The mission of the School of Pharmacy is to provide
contemporary pharmaceutical education that produces highly skilled
pharmacists who deliver quality pharmaceutical care to the people of
Virginia and the nation. The program focuses on a strong foundation
in the pharmaceutical sciences, curricular integration, provision of
high-quality pharmaceutical care, lifelong learning, appropriate use
of technology, and a vigorous research program. The School promotes
and encourages the scholarly and professional development of
students, faculty, and staff in a multicultural environment.
