Paine College

A small, church-affiliated, and predominantly African American liberal arts institution, Paine offers degrees in two schools and six academic departments: the School of Arts and Sciences (which houses the departments of humanities; social sciences; and sciences, mathematics, and technology) and the School of Professional Studies (which is home to business, education, and media studies). Though applicants are required to submit SAT or ACT results, they do not have to meet a minimum score for admission.
