College History

Bishop State Community College is a state-supported, open admissions urban community college in Mobile, Alabama, and is dedicated to serving the residents of Mobile and Washington counties in southwest Alabama.
Bishop State Community College began in the summer of 1927 as the Mobile Branch of Alabama State Teachers' College of Montgomery. The College began offering extension course for in-service teachers only during the summer months; this pattern of operation continued for nine years. In September 1936, the College was established as an all-year two-year college.
In August 1965, a legislative act declared the Alabama State College Branch Mobile Center a state junior college, which gave the institution its first independent legal status. The College was named officially Mobile State Junior College in November 1965. Several years later, in September 1971, the state Legislature again changed the name of the College to S.D. Bishop State Junior College in honor of its then president, Dr. S. D. Bishop. Upon the death of Dr. Bishop in 1981, Dr. Joseph Christopher Mitchell was selected to serve as interim president.
In September 1981, Dr. Yvonne Kennedy was appointed as the second president of Bishop State. Immediately, Dr. Kennedy set forth a new challenge - "A Commitment to a Program of Excellence" - for the College family.
In 1989, the name of the College was changed to Bishop State Community College to reflect its growth in vocational/career offerings, transfer offerings, and community service activities. On August 22, 1991, the Alabama State Board of Education consolidated two technical colleges in Mobile - Southwest State Technical College and Carver State Technical College - with Bishop State Community College. These colleges now serve as campuses of Bishop State Community College. In 1995, the College added a fourth campus with the opening of its Baker-Gaines Central Campus.
