Southern Adventist University

Southern Adventist University is a Seventh-day Adventist college in Collegedale, Tennessee, owned and operated by the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. ''U.S. News & World Report'' categorizes it as a Southern Regional College, and the magazine has consistently ranked it as one of the top-tier schools in that category.〔("''US News'' Best Colleges 2011", ranked no. 31, Southern Adventist University ) Retrieved 2011-05-31.〕〔 "Southern Adventist University is ranked one of the "Best Baccalaureate Colleges" in the South by the ''U.S. News & World Report'' in its 2010 "America's Best Colleges" edition. This is the eighth year Southern has been listed as a Top Tier college. ... Southern was listed as number 24." Retrieved 2011-05-31.〕 Southern Adventist University occupies a campus in a rural setting in the Tennessee River Valley.〔
It was founded in 1892 in Graysville, Tennessee, as Graysville Academy and was the first Adventist school in the southern U.S. Due to the need for additional space for expansion the school relocated in 1916 and was renamed Southern Junior College. In 1944 Southern began awarding baccalaureate degrees and was renamed Southern Missionary College. In 1996 the institution started conferring master's degrees and adopted its current name.
Southern offers associate, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees.〔 It is accredited by multiple organizations including the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Its Institute of Archaeology offers an undergraduate degree in biblical archaeology; Southern is one of only two schools which offer the degree. It is known for its emphasis on Adventist beliefs and conservative religious and social practices, and is considered the most conservative of the Seventh-day Adventist schools in North America. The college operates a radio station (WSMC-FM), a health food store and a wellness center. Enrollment was 3,053 students in 2010, its highest level to date.
==History==
Southern's roots stem from the establishment of Graysville Academy in Graysville, Tennessee, in 1892,〔
〕 in a part of the South much affected by the American Civil War. The area saw the battle of Chickamauga and the Chattanooga campaign, and was the staging ground for Sherman's Atlanta campaign. The Academy was privately funded at first, with no financial support from the Adventist church.〔Pettibone, Dennis (1992) ''A Century of Challenge: The Story of Southern College 1892-1992'', pp. 9-60〕 In 1897 it was renamed the Southern Industrial School and then Southern Training School in 1901. The school moved to the community of Thatcher's Switch in 1916, renaming it Collegedale.〔
〕 In 1943, Kenneth A. Wright became president of the school. During Wright's administration, Southern Junior College became accredited as a four-year college. A new name, Southern Missionary College, was adopted in 1944, and Southern granted its first baccalaureate degrees two years later. When the school became a university in 1996, the trustees voted on a new name: Southern Adventist University.
