About PAINE COLLEGE
Nestled among 57 acres in Augusta, Georgia, Paine College has been helping African-American students achieve their career goals since classes began in 1884. Self-sufficiency is a major tenet of this historically black college's mission. Popular tales of the school's founding relate how Bishop Lucius Foley visited Methodist churches throughout the southeastern United States in 1882 and 1883, raising funds for the new black college a few dollars at a time.
Having retained close ties to both the United Methodist Church and the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, Paine College offers students a faith-based education with an emphasis on public service. Over the years, many alumni have taken leadership in regional, national, and international faith-based organizations. In the past few decades, this black school's leaders have more than doubled the number of students who transition directly to graduate school after graduation. Read more...
