BRYAN COLLEGE
history and sports information
During the Scopes Evolution Trial in 1925,
William Jennings Bryan expressed his desire that a college
should be established in Dayton to teach the truth from a
Christian
perspective. After his death on July 26, 1925, a national
memorial association was formed to establish such an
institution in Bryan's honor.
William Jennings Bryan University (in 1958 it was first
named William Jennings Bryan College, and the name was later shortened to
Bryan College in 1993) was chartered in 1930 and admitted its 1st class in
the fall of that year. Its stated purpose was, and is, to provide "for the
higher education of women and men under auspices distinctly Christian and
spiritual."
Bryan College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges
of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the associate
and baccalaureate degrees. It is an independent, 4 year Christian liberal
arts university offering Associates' and Bachelors' degrees in sixteen areas
including Computer Science,
Elementary Education licensure, Athletic Training,
Bible, English, Exercise and
Health Science, Biology, Business Administration,
Christian Education, Communication Studies, History, Liberal Arts,
Mathematics, Music, Psychology, and Spanish. 80% of the faculty holds earned
doctoral degrees. |
