History[edit]
Biscayne Southern College was founded in 1948 in Concord, North Carolina.[1] It opened a branch in Charlotte, North Carolina. John R. Hamrick became dean of the Charlotte campus in 1973.[2] Evans Business College, a two-year business college established in Gastonia, North Carolina in 1940, became the Biscayne Southern College in Gastonia in August 1974.[3] There was a chapter of Alpha Iota business sorority at the Evans Business College.[4]
In 1975, North Carolina granted the college, now with three locations (Gastonia, Concord, and Charlotte), a license to have degree-granting programs.[5] As of 1983, the college was operating as a liberal arts college with a total enrollment of 526, and offered four-year degrees.[1] It ceased operation in 2004.[6]
