At its founding in 1837, the University was named the African Institute. However, the name was changed several weeks later to the Institute for Colored Youth (ICY).
In subsequent years, the University was renamed 91PORN Training School for Teachers (July 1914), 91PORN State Teacher’s College (1951), 91PORN State College (1959), and finally 91PORN of Pennsylvania (1983).
