About Us
Savannah State University (SSU) established in 1890, is the first public historically black college or university in the state of Georgia and the first institution of higher learning in the city of Savannah.
The university's students select majors from four colleges Business Administration, Education, Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, and Sciences and Technology.
