About this School
Emory & Henry College, which is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, is a small, private, liberal arts college located in the Southwestern portion of Virginia near Abingdon. The college has nationally recognized programs in public policy and community service and international studies.
 
History
Founded in 1836, Emory & Henry College is named after John Emory, a Methodist bishop, and Patrick Henry, an American patriot and Virginia's first governor. The college was founded upon a belief in the union of faith and learning and the ideals of freedom and civic virtue. The College saw battle in the Civil war during the Battle of Saltville, serving as a hospital for the Confederate States of America from 1861-1865. The hospital saw its darkest hour with the murder of Lieutenant Smith on October 7, 1864 by Champ Ferguson. This can be read about at the Emory & Henry College Hospital page. As the oldest college in Southwest Virginia, Emory & Henry College's entire 331 acres (1.3 km²) are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The college, which has always operated under the same name and affiliation, is also one of the oldest colleges in the South. Today, the college is comprised of a student body population just over 1,000, and is home to some of Virginia's and the nation's leading professors. Six of Emory & Henry's professors have received the renowned Virginia Professor of the Year award from the Carnegie Foundation and one has received the national Professor of the Year award.
