| History
|
Reverend Luke Dorland was tasked to found the school, Scotia Seminary, by the Presbyterian Church to prepare young black
Southern women for careers as social workers and teachers. The institution changed its name to Scotia Women's College in
1916, merged with Barber Memorial College of Anniston, Alabama in 1930, and in 1932 changed names to Barber-Scotia
College. The North Carolina Board of Education granted it a 4-year rating in 1946. In 1954, the college both became a
co-ed institution, allowing men to enroll, and it was admitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The
college maintains close ties to the Presbyterian Church. The school's motto, Lumen Veritas et Utilitas, means "Knowledge,
Truth and Science".
On June 24, 2004, the college lost its accreditation, due to what the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools said
was a failure to comply with SACS Principles and Philosophy of Accreditation (Integrity). The loss of accreditation makes
the college's students ineligible for federal aid, and an estimated 90% of the school's students depend on federally
funded aid. Barber-Scotia College is currently in transition to become a 4 year Entrepreneurial and Business College.
During this transition, the Board of Trustees and the new administration are aggressively moving toward accreditation. In
the interim, Barber-Scotia is currently in discussions with selected colleges/universities regarding a formal affiliation
as a branch or extension for the next 3-4 years. This affiliation will allow for dual enrollment and awarding of degrees
which will enable the college's students to obtain financial aid and an accredited degree. The goal is to obtain
accreditation with a national accrediting body such as the American Academy for Liberal Education (AALE) or the
Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) by the 2007-2008 academic year, and accreditation with
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) by the 2008-2009 academic year.
On October 8, 2004, the Board of Trustees of Barber-Scotia College approved a proposal to make entrepreneurship education
its single academic focus and authorized its new President to begin a planning process to move the College in that
direction.[citation needed] The College’s 30-year history of successfully producing more business administration graduates
than any other major allows for a rather seamless transition to entrepreneurship education. Offering the Bachelor of
Science Degrees exclusively in Entrepreneurship and Business Administration uniquely positions Barber-Scotia College as an
entrepreneurial college with the primary mission of educating future local and global entrepreneurs as well as promoting
social and economic parity.
