GENERAL INFORMATION
History 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.
9
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. AldersonBroaddus 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. We embrace Christian values, including
moral integrity, service, trust, justice, and compassion, among others. Within a
nurturing environment, we seek to support and empower all members of our
community to explore and carry out these values.
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.
Vision Statement
Alderson-Broaddus College will:
• prepare graduates for success and service to humanity;
• embody its Christian commitment by caring for each student in a
learner centered environment;
• be renowned as a leader in health-related and professional higher
education firmly rooted in the liberal arts; and

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.
