Driving Discovery Through Research and Innovation
An investment in VSU is an investment in the students and faculty whose discoveries will shape tomorrow.
In 2025, Virginia State University was elevated to Carnegie R2 status (Research 2: High Research Spending and Doctorate Production), a prestigious designation that recognizes the University's growing research enterprise and commitment to graduate education. This achievement places VSU among a select group of institutions nationwide recognized for high levels of research activity and positions the University to expand opportunities for discovery, innovation, and student success.
