Bishop State Community College
Bishop State Community College is a public, historically black community college with campuses and facilities throughout Mobile and Washington Counties in Alabama. The college was founded in Mobile, Alabama, in 1927, and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. It offers more than 50 associate degree and certificate programs.
Bishop State's athletic teams compete in the Alabama Community College Conference (ACCC) of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). They are collectively known as the Wildcats.
Bishop State Community College was founded in 1927 as the Mobile, Alabama, extension of Alabama State College, and initially offered courses to African-American certified teachers. In 1936, it was organized into a two-year college and renamed Alabama State College - Mobile Center, with O.H. Johnson serving as the first dean. In 1965, Alabama legislation officially declared Bishop State Community College a state junior college independent from Alabama State College, and it was renamed Mobile State Junior College. The Alabama State Board of Education renamed the college S.D. Bishop State Junior College for its first president, Dr. Sanford D. Bishop, in 1971. In 1989, the board renamed it Bishop State Community College due to its expanded career, vocational, transfer and community service offerings.
Historically, Bishop State has primarily served the inner-city residents of Mobile and Prichard, Alabama to prepare them for open industry positions and career advancement.
Bishop State has one on-site campus and several on-site instructional sites in Mobile County. Its five off-site locations are high schools throughout Mobile and Washington Counties.
Main Campus is located at 351 North Broad Street. It contains 14 buildings and covers 15 acres (0.061 km2). The campus was acquired in 1942, making it Bishop State's original building when the college was first established.
As of February 2021, the Mobile County Commission approved $350,000 to fund the construction of the Advanced Manufacturing Center and Health Sciences Facility on Main Campus. The 80,000-square-foot (7,400 m2) Advanced Manufacturing Center is designed for skilled workforce development training grounds for careers in process technology, industrial maintenance, electronics engineering technology and robotics, among others. The Health Sciences Facility will include a 1,150 square foot (107 m2) nursing simulation site to train nursing students in patient care. Both buildings were scheduled to open in fall 2021.
Southwest Campus is located at 925 Dauphin Island Parkway. Established in 1947 as Southwest State Technical College, a vocational school, it was consolidated into Bishop State Community College in 1991. The campus covers 42 acres (0.17 km2) and contains seven buildings.
