Livingstone College

“The Total Learning Environment”

Founded in 1879 as Zion Wesley Institute by a group of African Methodist Episcopal Zion ministers to train new ministers in Concord, N.C., the college closed after three years and reopened in Salisbury in 1882 with one building on 40 acres of land. Today, it is a private, 4-year liberal arts school still affiliated with the A.M.E. Zion church offering degrees in business, education, math and science.

Academic Emphasis: Liberal arts, with baccalaureate degrees in business, education and social work.

New or Noteworthy: The new Holistic College is a comprehensive academic and social program being integrated into the curriculum to change student behavior and improve student learning outcomes. It focuses on 10 areas, ranging from academics, such as technology and Spanish as a second language, to personal health and fitness, debt management and personal responsibility, to encouragement of public service and political action.

Tuition: $21,200

Enrollment: 1,082
