GENERAL INFORMATIONHistory of Alderson-Broaddus

Two institutions were united in 1932 to form Alderson-Broaddus, a College of arts, sciences, and special professional and pre-professional programs. Each of the institutions passed on a rich Christian heritage. The older of the two, Broaddus College, was founded in Winchester, Virginia, in 1871 by Edward Jefferson Willis, a stalwart lawyer and Baptist minister who greatly admired the Reverend William Francis Ferguson Broaddus, a tireless Baptist minister of the period of the War Between the States. Broaddus Academy was moved across the Alleghenies to Clarksburg, West Virginia, in 1876, leaving the site where a depression and the opening of two other denominational schools had increased competition for students. There was no similar institution serving the Clarksburg area, and Broaddus flourished there for several years. The institution moved to Philippi in 1909. The other institution, Alderson Academy and Junior College, was founded at Alderson, West Virginia, in 1901. Its inception was in the mind of Miss Emma Alderson, a teacher in Allegheny Collegiate Institute of Alderson, when the decision was made that only Methodists would be employed to teach in that Methodist institute. The Greenbrier Male and Female Academy property was for sale at the time; Miss Alderson and her brother Bernard, with the encouragement of the Reverend John Calvin Killian and his wife, founded Alderson Academy in September 1901. As the years passed, Broaddus became a junior college, than a senior college, and Alderson Academy added junior college status. The financially depressed 1920’s and 1930’s brought the decision that the two colleges, both American Baptist supported, both dedicated to liberal arts and sciences, and both standing for the Christian education of the student, should be merged. Today, Alderson-Broaddus is the only institution of higher education in West Virginia related to the American Baptist Churches, USA. The College has a long cherished tradition of effective teaching in the liberal arts with strong emphases in human studies, the Christian faith, music, and the fine arts. Science and teacher preparation have, in recent years, placed emphasis on the natural and applied sciences. In cooperation with the Myers Clinic, the first collegiate nursing program and the first radiologic technology program in West Virginia were developed in 1945. In 1968, a four-year medical science program to prepare the physician assistant was initiated. The medical science major was a national pioneering venture, the first such four-year program in the country. The nursing and allied health sciences programs are based strongly on the liberal arts. The College initiated its first graduate degree offering in August 1991, the Master’s degree for physician assistants. New Dimensions in Learning, a program inaugurated in the fall of 1964, moved Alderson-Broaddus into a new era of academic adventure and service. The world had become the classroom in which ideals and intellectual achievements of students were tested and developed—far beyond the confines of the West Virginia campus.


On April 19, 2013, at the annual spring Board of Trustees meeting, board members voted to change the name of the 142-year-old institution. Alderson-Broaddus College will become Alderson Broaddus University. The Charter authorizing the change will be filed at the end of the fiscal year in the Secretary of State office’s in Charleston W.Va. to officially change the institution’s name, effective July 1, 2013.

Church Relatedness Statement As a faith-based learning community, Alderson-Broaddus College affirms and proclaims that the source, reality, meaning, and purpose of human existence are shaped by the goodness, power, oneness, and faithfulness of the Sovereign God, disclosed and incarnate in the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and attested to by the biblical revelation given by the Holy Spirit through human witness. As a church-related institution of higher education, we fulfill our educational mission through dependence on, trust in, and responsive commitment to that Sovereign God. We believe in the unity of God’s ultimate truth, and we value the integration of faith and reason in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding in all areas of life. We believe that every human being is created in the image of God and possesses the ability to learn and grow both spiritually and intellectually. Our goal, therefore, is to cultivate sound reasoning and critical thinking through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts, including biblical studies, and to empower persons with the skills to better serve God and humanity. Alderson-Broaddus College seeks to provide a caring community, reflective of the diversity present in society and in the body of Christ, but united in mutual respect and understanding.

Alderson-Broaddus College affirms our commitment to our historical and continuing place within the Church of Jesus Christ, as it is embodied in the West Virginia Baptist Convention and American Baptist Churches/USA. Within this commitment, we support religious freedom and respect for various expressions of faith and celebrate the Church’s racial, cultural, and theological diversity. We value the interdependence and mutual accountability between churches and the College. We affirm our openness to being educated by the Church as well as our responsibility to educate and equip the Church to join us in responding to the biblical call to renewal and to the need for a vital witness in society. Through such a relationship, we are able to cooperatively fulfill our shared responsibilities for ministry and mission.

Leaving the College

Withdrawal from College• A student withdrawing from the College, either during an academic term or at the completion of an academic term, must complete a Withdrawal Form available in the Registrar’s Office. • Failure to comply with this procedure will result in the recording of an “F” on the student’s permanent record. • Withdrawing from the college means withdrawing from all registered courses. This is only permitted with a grade of “W” during the period prior to the last day to withdraw each semester. After the last day to withdraw, a grade in each course must be assigned.

Leave of Absence• Under unavoidable situations and for justifiable reasons a student may be granted a Leave of Absence for one semester. A leave is granted only when the absence seems necessary and the student definitely plans to return when the period of absence expires. • A Leave of Absence form should be received from and returned to the Registrar by the applicant. The applicant must get the required signatures. • The student is not eligible for financial aid from Alderson-Broaddus College during this time, and the student will enter his/her grace period for student loan repayment. • The college will notify the VA that a student receiving veteran benefits is not enrolled; the student himself/herself must also send such notice to the VA. Any student aid or work assignment formerly held is relinquished. • The college cannot make academic adjustments for courses missed.• NOTE: A student in the Physician Assistant Studies Program may be permitted to decelerate by requesting a leave of absence from the Student Progress Committee providing the student has achieved a 3.0 GPA in all current courses. In general, deceleration will require the student to return with the next entering class.

16

Transcript Requests• Persons who desire an official copy of their college record must make a written request to the registrar.• The College’s transcript request form can be found at: http://ab.edu/node/877• All financial obligations to the College must be satisfied before a transcript will be issued, therefore requests should be made at least two weeks before the transcript is needed. Once the repayment period has begun, delinquency related to an educational loan will be regarded to be reason for withholding transcripts.

1. Students are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in the program.
