In 1998, UAB Walker College merged with Bevill State Community College. The four campuses offer university parallel, technical, and vocational educational opportunities to approximately one-quarter of a million people in the seven county area, which spans 4,628 square miles, from the Birmingham city limits to Mississippi. In fulfillment of that mission, the College offers academic and technical programs and community service activities throughout the College district, serving a population that is diverse in age, ethnicity, culture, and economic and educational backgrounds. Bevill State Community College is a student-centered institution, responding to the needs and goals of students. Classes are scheduled days, evenings, and weekends at multiple locations to provide students with convenient access to College programs.
Classes provide students with individualized attention and modern instructional technology.
These services also include financial assistance, academic advising, counseling, tutoring, mentoring, job placement assistance, extra-curricular activities, intercollegiate athletics, and special events in the creative and performing arts. The college accepts the challenge of helping all students develop to their full potential and considers student success the measure of institutional success.
