History of the Campus
Founded by Dr. Carl Jesse, the Jasper Campus, originally named Walker College, opened its doors on September 15, 1938, with 45 students. In 1939, Walker College was first accredited through the Southern Association of Junior Colleges, and in 1942, through the efforts of several citizens in Jasper, the present site was purchased and construction began on the campus' first structure, Davis Hall. After a five-year association with the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Walker College merged with Bevill State Community College in 1998.
 

Location

Located in the rolling hills of the Appalachian Mountains, the Jasper Campus of Bevill State Community College is nestled in a cozy wooded area on the edge of downtown Jasper, Alabama. The campus is a 45 minute drive from Birmingham and many recreational locations.
