Berry was founded in 1902 by Martha Berry (1866-1942) as a school for enterprising rural boys when few public schools existed in Georgia. A girls' school was added in 1909. Berry became one of the nation's most successful educational experiments, combining academic study, student work and interdenominational Christian religious emphasis. Berry has an excellent record of sound growth. A junior college was established in 1926 and a four-year college in 1930; graduate programs were added in 1972.

Berry College is an independent, coeducational college
with fully accredited arts, sciences and professional programs plus
specialized graduate programs in education and business administration.
The college is recognized as one of the outstanding comprehensive
colleges in the South.

Berry's integrated education of the head, the heart and
the hands unites a challenging scholastic program with opportunities
for spiritual and moral growth, worthwhile work and significant service
to others. Today, as throughout its history, Berry encourages its
students and graduates to be more and do more - for themselves and
others. Berry College offers a foundation for life.
