History
Paine College is a four-year, private, coeducational, liberal arts college founded in 1882 as Paine Institute. The history of Paine began after the Civil War when the black members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South formed the Colored (now Christian) Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church. Realizing the need to train black ministers and teachers, the CME Church requested the assistance of its mother church. Each church appointed 3 people, who joined together to create Paine College.
Paine was chartered in 1883 and offered its first instruction at the postsecondary level in 1891. The first bachelor’s degree was awarded in 1885, and the present name Paine College was adopted in 1903.
Paine is a historically black college and a United Negro College Fund member school. Its mission is to provide a quality liberal arts education with an emphasis on ethical and spiritual values, social responsibility, and personal development. The school seeks to emphasize and enhance the black experience as a part of the total education process.
