Our mission is to educate students to become servants of Christ to make a difference in today's world. The College seeks to assist in the personal growth and development of qualified students by providing an education based upon an integrated understanding of the Bible and the liberal arts. Bryan College was established as a four-year undergraduate college of arts and sciences, although until 1958, the corporate title used the term "University." In December 2005, the College was authorized by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (Commission on Colleges) to offer its first graduate degree: The Master of Business Administration. Chartered in 1930 under the laws of Tennessee as a general welfare corporation with the primary purpose of providing "for the higher education of men and women under auspices distinctly Christian and spiritual," the College has responded to changing times with various modifications of its educational program. The goals for institutional development and the changing climate in American higher Education will continue to influence the educational program. However, the original institutional purpose as a Christian liberal arts college remains unchanged. With an awareness of its heritage and a commitment to its future, the College endeavors to serve its constituencies by traditional and novel means. Bryan College maintains the following distinctive as part of its vision for the next century. Although students are neither required to subscribe to any statement of belief nor placed under any duress about their religious position, the College leadership desires that its graduates will ultimately find their lives transformed by the living Christ, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and consistently practicing a thoroughly Christian lifestyle which grows from a well-developed biblical worldview. These graduates should be well-integrated persons and mature citizens who accept their responsibility to glorify God and serve others.
