BGNonline Business Growth Network: Another New College in Virginia

On November 3, Founders College announced that it intends to purchase a 660-acre resort in South Boston, Va., providing first-class, customer-ready classroom, conference and campus facilities when the innovative, residential liberal arts and business school welcomes its first students in the fall of 2007.

Founders College Education Inc., is a for-profit company planning to construct a college along with a retirement community and other amenities. The founders are Dr. Gary Hull, Director of the Program on Values and Ethics in the Marketplace at Duke University, and Tamara K. Fuller, a highly successful entrepreneur with experience in executive consulting, banking, and real estate.

Founders College received degree-granting authority from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia in September 2006.

The Founder's College Mission:

To revolutionize American higher education by providing independent thinkers with a liberal arts education like no other.
We believe that a superior college education should be an integrated, hierarchical whole, with content-rich courses that are logically designed to give you the ability to think critically and communicate effectively. We provide students a revolutionary, life-changing college experience that develops a lifelong love of learning and the vital skills needed to excel in any profession.
