- Roanoke College was founded in 1842 as a preparatory school for boys, near Mt. Tabor Church, about
eight miles from Staunton, Virginia. The dreamchild of two Lutheran pastors, David F. Bittle and Christopher C. Baughman, the
Virginia Institute attracted local boys to its classes to prepare them for Gettysburg College and, hopefully, the Seminary.
In 1845 the State incorporated the school as the Virginia Collegiate Institute. Bittle left the school, returning to
full-time ministry in Maryland. Seeking a better location and a greater population from which to recruit students, Baughman
moved the Institute to what would become its permanent home in Salem, Virginia, in 1847.
- Roanoke College, the country’s second oldest Lutheran-related college, is an independent,
coeducational, four-year liberal arts college. Roanoke offers 34 majors, 28 minors, 17 concentrations and six
pre-professional programs leading to Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Business Administration degrees. In
addition, the College offers both elementary and secondary teacher licensure. Our core curriculum ensures the breadth and
critical thinking of a liberal arts education and our honors program offers students opportunities to participate in
challenging interdisciplinary courses.
- Roanoke College pursues its mission through an innovative curriculum that combines a core program in
the liberal arts, major fields of study in the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities and fine arts, along
with career-oriented, specialized programs of study.
- The college is listed in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges Guide as a national liberal arts
college. Roanoke College is one of just 270 colleges nationwide with chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and most
prestigious honor society.
- Roanoke College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools to award the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Business Administration degrees.
