Founded in 1876 by the Presbyterian Church, U.S., Stillman College is a four-year, co-educational liberal arts college.

Now, as a four-year, fully accredited senior college, Stillman offers small classroom settings for individualized instruction. The college both affirms its history and tradition and embraces a future that is interracial, multicultural and pluralistic. Stillman’s 105 acre campus, noted for its stately magnolias, meticulous grounds and graceful buildings, is located within walking distance of downtown Tuscaloosa and 52 miles southwest of Birmingham. Stillman is ranked 25^th in the south among U.S. News and World Report list of Americans Best Colleges.
