Judson College in Alabama | Judson College
The board of trustees at Judson College in Alabama, which claims to be the only evangelical womenâs college in the United States, has voted to close down the 183-year-old institution after failing to resolve its multi-million dollar financial deficit.Â
âWe know this was the right decision, but there is not a person here whose heart isnât broken over this,â Judson College President W. Mark Tew said in a statement. âI share the heartbreak of this decision that is felt by generations of Judson students, faculty, and friends.â
Judson College, an all-womenâs Christian college in Marion, Alabama, affiliated with Alabama Baptist Convention, was founded in 1838 when it was rare for women to receive formal education.Â
