Livingstone College

[EduCativ]

Livingstone College was founded as Zion Wesley Institute by a group of A.M.E. Zion ministers for training ministers in the Cabarrus County town of Concord, North Carolina, in 1879.
After three brief sessions, directed by principals Bishop C. R. Harris and Professor A.S. Richardson, the Institute ultimately closed in Concord. In 1881, Dr. Joseph Charles Price and Bishop J. W. Hood changed their roles as delegates to the Ecumenical Conference. They became fund-raisers with the mission to re-establish Zion Wesley Institute.
The Rowan County town of Salisbury, just 20 miles northeast of Concord, gave the Trustees a generous donation of $1,000 and an invitation to relocate the school in Salisbury. They accepted both gifts, and the College re-opened in Salisbury in 1882 with Dr. Price as President. The new site was J. M. Gray's farm called Delta Grove, which consisted of one building and 40 acres of land.
The mission of the Division of Academic Affairs is to provide academic programs that are characterized by pedagogical competence. Instruction encourages the development of critical and analytical skills that prepare students for continued life-long learning in today's competitive global workplace.
The Division of Academic Affairs is responsible for all academic programs' administration and leadership to ensure that they are in concert with the College's mission and strategic objectives and create a wholesome learning environment where academic excellence in teaching, research, and service is emphasized.
The Academic Affairs consists of four divisions: Division of Business, Division of Education and Social Work, Division of Liberal Arts, and Division of Mathematics and Sciences. Continuing Education, The Office of the Registrar, and the Andrew Carnegie Library are housed in Academic Affairs. College Survival Skills and Empowering Scholars support the students and faculty of the Division.
Grant programs are an integral component of the Division. These programs enhance student learning and academic success. Programs include Annenberg/UNCF-HBCU/School Linkage Program, Nuclear Science Technology, and Summer Math and Science Enrichment.
