Preferred term

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools  

Definition

  • The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools was founded three decades after the Civil War to provide consistent and higher academic standards among the most prominent White southern colleges and universities, where funding and educational quality had not recovered from the war. In the 1930s, Black colleges asked the association to visit and evaluate their programs and provide an approved list that would facilitate students' applications for graduate and professional schools.
