A SMALL COLLEGE CAN HELP YOU MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

Established in 1877 to educate former slaves, Philander Smith College is Arkansas's oldest private historically black college (HBCU). A privately supported, four-year liberal arts college affiliated with the United Methodist Church and the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), PSC sits on an enclosed 12-square-block campus in the beautiful and historic Quapaw Quarter of downtown Little Rock. The James M. Cox Administration Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Small enough to offer one-on-one attention in a family-style atmosphere, the College offers bachelor's degrees after a quality education through six major divisions: Teacher Education, Humanities, Natural and Physical Science, Business and Economics, Social Sciences, and the Division of Continuing Education. The College is also BIG enough to provide activities like a world-renowned choir, inter-collegiate athletics, student government, and fraternities and sororities.

Philander Smith College's rich legacy continues by providing an educational experience that embraces academic excellence, builds self-esteem, cultivates critical thinking skills, and prepares learners for tomorrow.
