Berea College Summary

Increase your salary, get your degree in your spare time - FREE Application to University of Phoenix for a limited time

Berea College is a small liberal arts work college in Berea, Kentucky, south of Lexington, Kentucky with a full-time enrollment of 1514 students. Founded on the abolitionist principles of John Gregg Fee (1816-1901), Berea College admitted, from its beginning in 1855, both black and white students in a fully-integrated curriculum, making it the first non-segregated, co-educational college in the South, one of a handful of institutions of higher learning to admit both male and female students in the mid-1800s. The college challenged the law in state court, and further appealed to the Supreme Court in Berea College v. For the past decade, Berea College has been consistently ranked by US News and World Report as the number one liberal arts college in the South. A high percentage of Berea graduates go on to graduate and professional schools, and the College is also active in international programs, with over 40% of Berea students studying abroad before graduation. By policy, at least 80% of the College’s incoming class is drawn from the Appalachian region of the South and some adjoining areas, while about 7% are international students from the developing world-Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Europe, and Central and South America-with generally no more than one student admitted from a given country in a single year (with the exception of countries in distress such as Tibet and Liberia). In order to support its extensive scholarship program, Berea College has one of the largest financial reserves of any American college when measured on a per-student basis. The base of Berea College’s finances is dependent on substantial contributions from individuals who support the mission of the College and donations from alumni, who have been the beneficiaries of Berea’s largesse. As a work college, Berea has a labor program in which every entering student is assigned a job on campus, from busing tables at the Boone Tavern Hotel, a historic business, which is owned by the College, to managing the hanging and focusing of lights for the productions at the Theatre Lab.

Berea College Academics

There’s never a reason to feel alone in your studies either, since there are academic support services like Learning Center, Remedial Instruction, Study Skills Assistance, Tutoring and Writing Center.

Besides, when any student is looking for some counseling or other types of support, Adult (re-entering) student services, Alcohol/Substance Abuse Counseling, Campus Ministries/Chaplain, Career Counseling, Economically Disadvantaged Student Services, Employment Service, Financial Aid Counseling, Freshman Orientation Program, Health Services, Minority Student Services, On-Campus Daycare, Personal Counseling, Placement Service, Veterans Counselor and Women’s Services can help. The university has disability services as well, so be sure to inquire about them if needed. Berea College is unique in its study options.

Hi. I am trying to find some history of your college as it pertains to the manufacture of a game called "skittles". I guess they were made in the 40's out of various woods and always marked Berea College, Ky.
