Bristol University (Tennessee)

January 01, 1970

Bristol University, previously Bristol College, was a proprietary higher education institution in Bristol, Tennessee, that closed in 1994.

The school specialized in business education. As of 1989, it operated in both Bristol and Knoxville, Tennessee and enrolled a total of approximately 350 students in the two locations.[1] It also operated in Indianapolis, Indiana, from 1991 to 1994.[2] There was also a satellite campus located in Johnson City, Tennessee.

History edit

The institution was started in 1895.[3]

Jack O. Anderson became president of Bristol College in 1969 and remained on its board until 1988.[4] Ron Cosby later became its president. In 1989, Cosby sold the school to Craven Sumerell of South Carolina. Sumerell had previously founded and operated American Management College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, which closed in February 1989, and before that had directed Limestone College's off-campus management program.[1][5][6] American Management College's records were transferred to Bristol University.[6] Bristol University closed in 1994 and Sumerell and his wife filed for bankruptcy in 1995.[2][3]

Legacy edit

Students who attended the Bristol University location in Indianapolis, Indiana, can obtain transcripts and degree information from the Indiana Commission on Proprietary Education.[7]
