Blue Mountain College

Blue Mountain College was founded in 1873 by Civil War Brigadier General Mark Perrin Lowrey.  The 135+ year old co-educational institution has a stellar history of educating young women and men.

The distinctive atmosphere of Blue Mountain College is attributable to a blending of several factors:  the college’s sense of its mission as a Christian and specifically a Baptist institution, the traditions created by a distinguished founding family and Christian educators, a careful balancing of liberal arts and vocational studies, a special kind of student life with a system of student government and honor uniquely available in a small Christian liberal arts college, and a family-like environment where students, faculty, and administrators genuinely believe in the worth of the individual.

Blue Mountain College has over the years sought to prepare students for meaningful lives.  Emphasis has been given to the development of strength of character and the ability to live creatively.  Through small classes, a close faculty-student relationship, and a focus on the importance of the individual, the College has endeavored to produce graduates who are well-prepared academically and spiritually to accept places of leadership in their professions, in their communities, and in the work of the denomination.

Blue Mountain College was independently owned and administered until 1920, when control was turned over to the Mississippi Baptist Convention. From 1873 to 2005, the school operated as a traditional liberal arts college for women.  In 1956 at the request of the Mississippi Baptist Convention, the College opened its doors to men preparing for church-related vocations.
