Haaga House - Admissions Office

Our tour starts here at the Haaga House which is home to our Admissions Office.

📣Berea College was founded in 1855 by Reverend John. G. Fee. The college was founded on ten acres of donated land from Cassius Clay, aiming to spread the word that “God made, of one blood, all peoples of the Earth”. Berea College was the first co-educational and interracial college in the south.

Something that makes Berea unique is that we have an incredible labor program. From its founding, Berea College has provided employment opportunities so students could earn money to help pay their educational expenses and to provide experience for resume building. Today, students work in hundreds of jobs in more than 120 different departments.
