In 1935, Dillard University moved to its present location and began instruction. Dillard had the first speech department in a black university and the first nationally accredited nursing program in Louisiana. The campus is situated on approximately 48 acres in a lovely residential section of New Orleans. This historically black college is a member school of the United Negro College Fund.
