Originally founded to provide higher education opportunities to recently freed African Americans and other under-served people, Pain College has grown into a proud four-year university. Established in 1882, Pain College was founded in the Methodist tradition and continues to weave religious and secular education into academics on its Augusta, Georgia campus.

Paine College offers bachelor’s degrees in a variety of concentrations of the following disciplines:
• Division of Business Administration

Though the list of academic majors is relatively short, students receive superb instruction from scholarly and professional instructors in the classroom.
