History
Founded in 1904, Bethune–Cookman College is a four-year, private, coed college affiliated with the United Methodist Church. It is the architectural offspring of the union between Cookman-Collegiate Institute, founded in 1872 by Reverend D.S.S. Darnell, and Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Girls, founded in 1904 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. This historic merger took place in 1923.
From 1923 to 1932, the school served as a rudimentary training center for students. In 1932, it functioned as a high school and junior college. Bethune–Cookman became a four-year college in 1942, awarding its first Bachelor of Science degree in 1943.
Bethune–Cookman’s mission is to serve the educational, cultural, and social needs of its students in the Christian tradition. The current president, Dr. Oswald P. Bronson Sr., states that “excellence in academic study as a religious endeavor is given top priority at Bethune–Cookman.” This excellence results from such emphases as small classes, low student-teacher ratios, research efforts, broad-based curriculum offerings, and dynamic teachers.
The home of Dr. McLeod, located on this campus, was declared a national historic landmark by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1975. The thousands who tour the foundation are reminded of the spirit of Bethune, the founder and first president of Bethune–Cookman College.
