Queens' first masters degree program, the Master of Business Administration, began in 1980 (for more information, visit The McColl Graduate School of Business). Since then, Queens has added the Master of Arts in Teaching (1992); the Master of Science in Nursing (1998); the Master of Arts in Organizational Communication (1999), and the Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (2001). With the additional offering of masters degree programs, Queens began being ranked as a university by such organizations as the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and U.S. News and World Report.
Because of these rankings, and after intensive study, discussion, and market research, the Board of Trustees took action in Spring 2002 to recognize the status as a university and, consequently, to change the institutional name from 'Queens College' to 'Queens University of Charlotte.' This act officially changed the status of Queens on June 1, 2002, to reflect the true nature of the institution as a university. At the same time, effort was made to maintain the rich tradition in the Charlotte community and beyond by retaining 'Queens' as part of the name.
