Our history
From College of Technology to public university
Founded in 1978 as the William V.S. Tubman College of Technology on land donated by the people of Maryland County, and named for Liberia's 19th President, a native of the county.
Operations ceased in December 1989 during Liberia's civil conflict. Following reconstruction efforts, the institution was chartered as a full public university by an Act of the Liberian Legislature on 14 September 2009.
