History

On September 24, 1888, with fewer than a dozen students, the Saint Paul Normal and Industrial School was founded by James Solomon Russell of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

The name of the institution was changed to Saint Paul’s Polytechnic Institute in 1941 and authority was granted to offer a four-year program. The first bachelor’s degree was awarded in 1944. The present name was adopted in 1957 to more accurately reflect the liberal arts and teacher education curricula. It is considered one of the best schools for educating black teachers.

Academics

Saint Paul’s College focuses on liberal arts, social sciences, education, business, mathematics, and natural sciences. It is committed to the development of young Christian men and women who leave the college capable of taking their place in a multicultural society.

Initiated in 1987, the Single Parent Support System (SPSS) is a unique on-campus residential educational program specifically designed for single parents with two or fewer children between the ages of two months to nine years old.

The SPSS requires students to attend the College year round on a full-time basis and maintain a projected graduation progression of three to four years. In addition to meeting the same admission and academic requirements as traditional students, SPSS participants must also maintain a 2.5 G.P.A. each year.

Participants are responsible for their tuition and may be eligible for financial aid and other sources of financial assistance. A significant aspect of the SPSS is a faculty mentoring system that assists participants with choosing a major.

High caliber tutorial assistance and counseling services are available on a need basis. Specifically designed seminars are provided that focus on academic success, transition to college, career planning, and parenting. Developmentally appropriate child care is provided that is geared for social and academic development.
