BACKGROUND
Edward
Waters
College
is, distinctively,
Florida
's oldest independent institution of higher learning as well as the
state's first institution established for the education of African
Americans.
Edward
Waters
College
bases its principals on the mission of the African Methodist Episcopal
Church. In 1892 the
school's name was changed to
Edward
Waters
College
in honor of the third bishop of the
AME
Church
. Waters (1780-1847). Courses
were first offered at the elementary, high school, college, and seminary
levels. From the beginning,
the College was faced with both abject poverty and widespread illiteracy
among its constituents resulting from prewar conditions of servitude and
the old legally enforced non-schooling of black persons.
OTHER
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Edward
Waters
College
awards the Bachelor of
Arts, and Bachelor of Science degrees, along with Pre-professional and
Pre-college programs.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
Under
the guidance of President William B. Stewart (1951-72), the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) first accredited
Edward
Waters
College
in 1955 as a junior college. Then, in 1958, course offerings were again
expanded to include senior college work and by 1960 the college had
restored its four-year curriculum and again granted the bachelor's
degree. Accreditation as a
four-year college was first approved by SACS (Dec, 1979) and later
reaffirmed (Dec, 1984). The college, then grown to an average full-time
enrollment of 650 students, became the 43rd member of the United Negro
College Fund (Jan.1, 1985).
Edward
Waters
College
gives top priority to excellence in academic study as a religious
endeavor. This excellence results from such emphases as low
student-teacher ratio, small class sizes, broad based course offerings
and dynamic professors.
