Arkansas Baptist College, private college in Little Rock, Arkansas, U.S.
Arkansas Baptist College is a private liberal arts college in Little Rock, Arkansas, historically serving Black Americans and listed among the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities. It offers programs in areas such as business, criminal justice, and theology on a compact urban campus.
The college was founded in 1884 as the Ministers' Institute, established by Baptist Christians to educate Black men and women at a time when most higher education was closed to them. Over the following decades, it moved to its current location and broadened its programs well beyond theology.
Arkansas Baptist College was founded by Baptist Christians and keeps close ties to community service and faith-based values. These roots are visible in student life today, from organized outreach programs to the general spirit of the campus.
The campus is located in an urban part of Little Rock and is easy to reach by public transit. Because the grounds are compact, walking around takes little time, and it is best to visit during regular weekday hours when the campus is active.
The college runs its own student-operated station called Buffalo Radio, which broadcasts music and talk programs for the campus and surrounding community. This gives students hands-on experience in broadcasting and communication before they enter the job market.
