History

The college, originally called the Maryland State Normal School, was founded in 1925 as a two-year institution to train teachers. The course of study was increased to three years in 1931 and to four years in 1934. In 1935, its name was changed to Maryland State Teachers College, and in 1963 to Salisbury State College. Between 1962 and 1995 several Masters Degree programs were approved. In 2001, the name was changed from Salisbury State University by deleting the word "State. "

In 2006 the Maryland General Assembly approved a $54. The Maryland General Assembly is the state legislature of the U 7 million capital project to build a Teacher Education and Technology Center on the main campus. Construction began in the fall of 2006. Shortly thereafter the General Assembly approved funds for a $45 million addition to the Perdue School of Business. Perdue Farms donated $8 million for the construction of the new building. Perdue Farms is a major chicken processing company based in Salisbury Maryland, United States. Perdue, Inc. chairman Jim Perdue said the donation was in honor of his father, former Perdue Farms president Frank Perdue. Franklin Parsons Perdue ( May 9, 1920 &ndash March 31, 2005) born in Salisbury Maryland, Construction has also begun on a new multi-level parking garage on the east-campus next to the sports fields. Planning for a new library to replace the existing Blackwell Library has begun but no funds have as of yet been appropriated.

In the fall of 2006 the Faculty Senate at Salisbury University approved a plan to make the SAT an optional submission for admission to the university. The SAT Reasoning Test (formerly Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test) is a standardized test for College admissions in the SU President Janet Dudley-Eshbach is quoted as saying "All they really do is evaluate how well someone does on a timed standardized test. It doesn’t measure motivation. It’s not really a level playing field. The test costs anywhere from $45 to $100, and some students take it again. The SAT prep course [can cost] about $800. Increasingly, we are finding students who don’t have the financial means to take the test — and certainly not a prep course. So our philosophy is, if you can demonstrate to us that you can achieve at least a 3. 5 grade-point average, you should at least be given a try at Salisbury University.
