Southern University at New Orleans, or SUNO, is a public historically Black university in New Orleans and a campus of the Southern University System. The Louisiana legislature created it in 1956 as a branch of Southern University, and it opened in 1959 on a site in Pontchartrain Park. The school is a member of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. Hurricane Katrina damaged every building on its Park Campus in 2005, and the university rebuilt afterwards. It is known for its School of Social Work with a Master of Social Work program, its criminal justice programs at the bachelor's and master's levels, and being the only Louisiana institution with an advanced degree in museum studies, according to Wikipedia. Enrollment is a few thousand students, mostly undergraduates, and its athletic teams, the Knights, compete in the NAIA. SUNO serves a largely local, commuter and first-generation student population in the New Orleans area.
