Our history began in 1873 and our “herstory” emerges in 1926 as the college reorganized to exclusively educate women. As a historically black, student centered, accredited, private four-year liberal arts college for women, we stand tall and strong on the tradi�ons of sisterhood. This founda�on of tradi�ons nurtures and supports Benne� Belles as they pursue their higher educa�on ambi�ons. The College offers women an educa�on conducive to excellence in scholarly pursuits; prepara�on for leadership roles in the workplace, society, and the world; and life-long learning in a technologically advanced, complex global society. As a United Methodist Churchrelated ins�tu�on, Benne� College promotes morally grounded matura�on, intellectual honesty, purposeful public service, and responsible civic ac�on.
