Delta State University started as Delta State Teachers College and held its first regular session on September 15, 1925 with 11 faculty and staff members for 97 students. The institution was officially designated Delta State University on March 15, 1974. In 1980, the Doctoral program was implemented and the first graduates completed their degrees in 1984.From a small teacher-training institution in the 1920’s, Delta State has grown into a multi-purpose university that focuses strongly on quality classroom instruction. The growth and success of the University is a tribute to the dedication of the faculty and staff, the hard work of the students, and the strong support of the Delta community and state legislature.
