The College offers four degrees: the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science, the Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Social Work. The College’s mission is to graduate academically accomplished students, grounded as advocates for social justice, determined to change the world for the better. Philander Smith College, the only United Negro College Fund member institution in Arkansas, strives to provide a quality education for all, regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin or ethnic background. Background Founded in 1877, Philander Smith College is the result of the first attempt west of the Mississippi River to make education available to Freedmen (former African American slaves). The forerunner of the College was Walden Seminary, named in honor of Dr. J.M. Walden, one of the originators and the first Corresponding Secretary of the Freedmen’s Aid Society. In 1882, while soliciting funds, Dr. G.W. Gray met Mrs. Adeline Smith, widow of Mr. Philander Smith of Oak Park, Illinois. The late Philander Smith had been a liberal donor to Asiatic Missions and had developed an interest in the work of the Methodist ChurchSouth. In making her gift to Dr. Gray, Mrs. Smith designated $10,500 for Walden Seminary. The trustees accepted the gift and gave it special recognition by changing the name of the struggling Walden Seminary to Philander Smith College. A new site for the school had already been purchased at Eleventh and Izard Streets, Little Rock, Arkansas. The gift made by Mrs. Smith was a significant contribution towards the construction of Budlong Hall, the first brick building on the new site.
