Episcopal Colleges & Universities

Episcopal colleges and universities are generally small, private liberal arts colleges located in the Eastern United States. Since the Episcopal Church broke with the Anglican Church around the time of the American Revolutionary War, it is not all that surprising that the majority of Episcopal colleges can be found in states that comprised the original Thirteen Colonies. St. Augustine's College in Chicago and Kenyon College in Ohio are notable exceptions. Though some Episcopal colleges that date back to 1800s were once all-male, every college in this article is co-educational.
  1. Bard College

    • Founded in 1860, Bard College is a small, private liberal arts college located in the Hudson Valley town of Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. It was originally called St. Stephen's College, but adopted its current name in 1934. Bard is a highly selective college with a student body under 2,000 and only about a quarter of all applicants are accepted. There is no football or baseball program at the college, but Bard athletics are represented by men's and women's basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, tennis, track & field, and cross-country teams. There is also a men's squash team. The mascot of Bard College is the Raptors.
