It moved to its current site in 1901 and was renamed Emmanuel Missionary College. In 1959, it was joined by the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and a school of graduate studies, together known as Potomac University, which was relocated from Washington, D.C. Over the next three years, the three entities united under one charter with an integrated board of trustees, administration and faculty, and took on the name Andrews University. In 1974, the undergraduate division of Andrews was organized into two colleges—the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Technology. The School of Business Administration, which evolved from the Department of Business Administration, was established in 1980. In a similar move, the Department of Education became the School of Education in 1983. The present organizational structure of the School of Graduate Studies was adopted in 1987. In 1993, the Department of Architecture became the Division of Architecture, and in 2012 became a school. It is now the School of Architecture & Interior Design. In 2011, the School of Distance Education was formed to support distance education and educational programs offered at locations across North America and the world. Because of the many international partnerships, the school has been renamed as the School of Distance Education & International Partnerships. Also in 2012, five departments housed in the College of Arts & Sciences together became the School of Health Professions. All of the colleges and schools offer both undergraduate and graduate degrees, except for the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, which maintains graduate and professional programs only. The Seminary offered its first doctorate (in ministry) in 1972. The only Seventh-day Adventist doctoral research university, Andrews University is also a comprehensive institution of higher learning integrating an exemplary liberal arts and sciences core with six prestigious professional schools and a number of excellent graduate programs.
