The combination of learning inside the classroom and growth outside of the classroom is known as the Barton Experience. Barton provides a challenging academic environment with a range of professional and liberal arts programs leading to the baccalaureate and master’s degree. The foundation of the Barton Experience is the promise to provide the tools and support to maximize students’ potential, in the classroom and beyond. With a focus on academic excellence, professors introduce subjects with fresh perspectives and captivate students’ interest through integrated hands-on opportunities that merge learning with doing. The Barton Experience offers purposeful internship/practicums in academic disciplines, meaningful international travel/study, student/faculty research and presentation through the Day of Scholarship, community service projects through the Day of Service, the distinguished Whitehurst Family Honors Program, an impressive array of cultural events, and diverse athletic competition. The result is an annual class of graduates who have increased emotional intelligence, a broadened awareness of diverse cultures, and a strengthened sense of ethical leadership and purpose as they boldly prepare to serve their local and global communities. Location Wilson, North Carolina (population 49,000) is located 45 miles east of North Carolina’s capital city of Raleigh and seven miles east of Interstate 95 (the main route between New York and Florida). The city is served by Amtrak and by one bus company. Commercial air service is available at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

In 1902, Barton College, under its former name of Atlantic Christian College, was incorporated by the state of North Carolina. The College opened with a capacity enrollment of 107 in September. Ada Tyson became the first graduate in the spring of 1903. In May 1922, the College was recognized as a standard A-grade institution by the North Carolina Board of Education. In 1923, the College adopted the words Habebunt Lumen Vitae – “They shall have the light of life” – as its official college motto. In 1955, the College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. On September 6, 1990, the College changed its name to Barton College. Barton College has been served by the following presidents: James C. Coggins, 1902-1904; John J. Harper, 1904-1908; Jesse C. Caldwell, 1908-1916; Raymond A. Smith, 1916-1920; Howard S. Hilley, 1920-1949; Cecil A. Jarman, acting 1949-1950; Denton Ray Lindley, 1950-1953; James M. Moudy, acting 1953; Travis A. White, 1953-1956; James M. Moudy, acting 1956; Arthur D. Wenger, 1956-1977; Milton L. Adams, acting 1977; Harold C. Doster, 1978-1983; James B. Hemby, Jr., President Emeritus, 1983-2003; Norval C. Kneten, 2003-2015; and Douglas N. Searcy, our current president. Affiliation The College is affiliated with the Division of Higher Education of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). It is also a member of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, the American Council on Education, North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, and the Council on Social Work Education. College Name The namesake of the College is Barton Warren Stone, who was a major figure in the founding of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In addition to Stone’s early ministry in eastern North Carolina, he also has roots in private higher education in this state. Born in Maryland and reared in Virginia, Stone used his modest inheritance to attend Caldwell Academy in Greensboro in the late 1700s. Stone’s academic career had its beginnings in law and later in teaching, but it eventually gave way to a lifelong religious evolution that carried him to the frontiers of Kentucky. In that state, a religious movement led by Stone and another led by Thomas Campbell merged in 1832 to form the denomination which, 70 years later, established the College. Alumni Association The Barton College Alumni Association includes more than 26,000 graduates and former students. Members of the Association are encouraged to take part in the organization’s many activities, from fund-raising to encouraging prospective students to consider the College. Barton Scope, is a magazine for alumni and friends of the College. Accreditation Barton College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate and master’s degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA, 30033-4097, or call (404) 679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Barton College. 6 Introduction to the College Statement of Purpose I The College is organized to maintain and operate an institution of learning for the education and instruction of qualified students within the framework of the Christian ideals and principles and under the auspices of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in North Carolina. — The College Charter II Barton College is a community of learners freely examining the intellectual and cultural experiences of a diverse and interdependent world to understand humanity’s rich heritage and to improve the quality of all existence.
