[edit] History

Sanford-Brown College was founded in 1866 by Rufus C. Crampton, a professor at Illinois College, to meet the demands of post-Civil War America. Originally known as Jacksonville Business College, the College was joined with Illinois College in 1868. Mr. Crampton and Professor George W. Brown served as principals. In 1878, Mr. Brown purchased the College from Illinois College and started a chain of modern business colleges bearing his name. By 1911, Mr. Brown had opened 29 Brown’s Business Schools across the United States. In 1920, Mr. W.S. Sanford, a teacher and principal at one of the schools, purchased one of the St. Louis schools and renamed the facility the Sanford- Brown Business College. In 1944, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Gassaway and Mr. Arthur Gassaway purchased the College and began promoting it as a specialized career-preparation institution. In 1972, the College was moved to St. Ann, Missouri. Mr. James L. Combs purchased the College in 1981 and obtained accreditation with Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) in 1982. Throughout the next decade, the College continued to grow. To accommodate this growth, the St. Ann Campus was moved to Hazelwood, Missouri. In 1992, the name of the College was changed to Sanford-Brown College. In July 1998, the Hazelwood Campus relocated to a new facility.[2]
