Berea College serves students who possess great academic promise but limited financial resources. Kentucky and Appalachia is Berea's primary service area, although students come from 45 states and 70 countries. The first college in the South to educate black and white, men and women in the same classroom as social equals, Berea is one of the most ethnically diverse liberal arts colleges in the U.S. No Berea student pays for tuition. Berea provides resources making it possible for students to graduate debt-free. As one of nine federally-recognized Work Colleges, Berea hires its students to work 10 hours or more weekly for the College, earning money for books, housing, and meals. Berea continues to advocate and embody a progressive, sustainable approach to the future. Through living-and-learning environments such as the Ecovillage and Shinn Residence Hall - the highest scoring Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified residence hall in the world - students engage in sustainable practices they can integrate into their communities. The College's motto, "God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth," speaks to its inclusive Christian character. Berea extends educational opportunities outside the classroom through seven centers devoted to specialized, practical application of the College's ideals. The Center for Excellence in Learning Through Service (CELTS), for example, empowers students to give back to the world in substantial and innovative ways. In addition, the college is home to initiatives such as Grow Appalachia and the Brushy Fork Leadership Institute, designed to support Berea's commitment to serving Appalachia. Ultimately, Berea seeks to graduate service-oriented leaders for the Appalachian region and beyond.
