We know that success is easier when you have an excellent education. Founded by the Presbyterian Church for newly emancipated African Americans, our educators have been compassionate, knowledgeable and committed to the highest levels of inquiry and bring a high degree of enthusiasm to the subject they teach. Since our inception, most of our educators have been recognized in their field.
The Barber-Scotia College Seal depicts the founding date of the institution, 1867, and the Latin words LUMEN VERITAS ET UTILITAS – “Light, Truth and Usefulness.“
The seal is used to certify the authenticity of official college documents.

To thee we sing;
Cherished both far and near,
Thy mandates we revere,
Our tributes we will bring,
Alma Mater Dear.
O Barber-Scotia, our Alma Mater Dear,
Thy Name we love;
Thou art our guiding star;
And though we wander far
Thy glory beams above,
Alma Mater Dear.
O Barber-Scotia, our Alma Mater Dear,
We honor Thee;
Point us the path of right
That leads into the light
Of noble service free,
Alma Mater Dear.
