BEVILL STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Bevill State Community College is a part of the Alabama State system of junior, community and technical colleges authorized by the Alabama Legislature under Act No. 93, approved May 3rd, 1963. At the same time, Act No. 94 vested the responsibility and authority for the operation and maintenance of the state 2-year colleges with the State Board of Education.
The college was created in 1992, by the consolidation of 2 leading 2-year colleges which were a part of the original legislation: Walker State Technical College, formerly a vocational/technical institution which opened in 1966, and Brewer State Junior College, a 2-year academic transfer institution, founded in 1969. The Hamilton Campus of Northwest Alabama Community College, primarily a vocational and technical campus which was founded in 1966,joined with Bevill State Community College in 1993 as 1 of its main campuses. UAB/Walker College, established in 1938 as an academic transfer college, completed the Bevill State 4-campus college in 1998.
The 4 main campuses, and 2 instructional facilities, in Carrollton and Double Springs, offer university parallel and applied technology educational opportunities to over 1/4 million people in a 7 county area. Bevill State's service area spans over 4,600 square miles, from the Birmingham city limits to the Mississippi state line.
