Martin Methodist College, founded in 1870, is a liberal art, four-year College related to the Tennessee Conference of The United Methodist Church. In 2015, the Master of Business Administration offered its first classes. With a historic campus located in Pulaski, Tennessee, in the beautiful hills of southern Middle Tennessee, Martin Methodist College is convenient to both Nashville (70 miles to the north) and Huntsville, Alabama (40 miles to the south). Martin Methodist College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, and the Masters degree of Business Administration. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Martin Methodist College.
The College is also accredited by The University Senate of the United Methodist Church and chartered by the State of Tennessee. The Commission accredits the Nursing Program on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The Teacher Education Program is accredited by the State of Tennessee Department of Education.
The three-fold purpose for publishing the Commission’s address and contact number in the above accreditation statement is to enable interested constituents to 1) learn about the accreditation status of the College, 2) to file a third-party comment at the time of the institution’s decennial review or 3) to file a complaint against the institution for alleged non-compliance with a standard or requirement. Routine inquiries about the institution, such as admission requirements, financial aid, educational programs, etc., should be addressed directly to the College and not to the Commission’s office.
The College is an affirmative action institution and does not discriminate unlawfully based on race, color, creed, disability, national/ethnic origin, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status in its admission policy, programs, or activities, education policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic and other College administered programs, or employment practices and programs.

The College reserves the right to change the rules regulating admission to the institution and any other regulations or requirements affecting the student body or the granting of degrees. The College also reserves the right to withdraw courses, change its calendar, and alter charges as conditions may require. Such changes shall go into force whenever the proper authorities may determine and shall apply not only to prospective students but also to those who may, at such time, be matriculated in the College. The College further reserves the right to refuse to release to any student a transcript, grade report, or degree for failure to return College property or to pay any accounts due to the College.
