Description
Randolph College is a private liberal arts and sciences college in Lynchburg, Virginia. Founded in 1891 as Randolph-Macon Woman's College, it was renamed on July 1, 2007, when it became co-educational.
The college offers 32 majors; 42 minors; pre-professional programs in law, medicine, veterinary medicine, engineering physics, and teaching; and a dual degree program in engineering. Undergraduate degrees offered include the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Fine Arts. Randolph also offers two graduate degrees, the Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
The college was founded by William Waugh Smith, then-president of Randolph-Macon College, under Randolph-Macon's charter after he failed to convince R-MC to become co-educational. Randolph-Macon Woman's College has historic ties to the United Methodist Church. After many attempts to find a location for Randolph-Macon Woman's College, the city of Lynchburg donated 50 acres for the purpose of establishing a women's college. In 1916, it became the first women's college in the South to earn a Phi Beta Kappa charter. Beginning in 1953, the two colleges were governed by separate boards of trustees.
The campus is beautiful, my favorite time in in the Fall when the rust colored leaves seem to comingle their colors with the brick on the old buildings. Pictured is Main Hall, built in 1891, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Randolph Macon College, Randolph College now, is just one of several institutions of higher learning in the Lynchburg area. The largest is Liberty University, Lynchburg University, used to be Lynchburg College, Sweet Briar College and Lynchburg Community College. Several of these schools have connections and learning available through online learning including University of Virginia and Virginia Tech.
