By 1931, the School's two-year course of study was changed to a three-year program, and by 1934, to a four-year program. In 1935, the School was authoized to grant the Bachelor of Science, and was renamed the State Teachers College at Salisbury. The academic course of study expanded further in 1947 and 1960 when programs in both the arts and sciences were offered, and in 1962 when graduate work began.
The College was renamed Salisbury State College in 1963 (Chapter 41, Acts of 1963). It became Salisbury State University in 1988 (Chapter 366, Acts of 1988), and was made part of the University of Maryland System the same year (Chapter 246, Acts of 1988). Renamed in 1997, the System became the University System of Maryland (Chapter 114, Acts of 1997). On July 1, 2001, the University also was renamed as Salisbury University (Chapter 225, Acts of 2001).
