Berea
College achieved national distinction as the first coeducational and
interracial college in the South. With an emphasis on service to the
people of Appalachia and beyond, Berea enrolls 1,600 students from 40
states and 60 countries. As a reflection of its continuing commitment to
interracial education, Berea is among the most racially diverse private
liberal arts colleges in the United States. Berea admits only students
whose families are unable to afford the high cost of tuition and awards
each of them a four-year tuition scholarship. Berea’s students excel in
the College’s supportive but demanding academic environment, and many
are the first in their families to graduate from college.
The College is
one of seven federally recognized Work Colleges, and all students hold a
labor position in which they work 10-12 hours per week. Graduates
distinguish themselves in a variety of fields, including social service,
government, ministry, the arts, business, education, medicine, and
science, and many go on to earn graduate degrees.

Located where the Bluegrass Region meets the Cumberland Mountains,
the town of Berea (pop. 16,000) lies forty miles south of Lexington and
is approximately two hours from Cincinnati, Louisville, and Knoxville.
More information about Berea College is available at www.berea.edu.
Berea College, in light of its mission in the tradition of impartial
love and social equality, welcomes all people of the earth to learn and
work here.
