Southern Benedictine College
- Southern Benedictine College
Southern Benedictine College was a Catholic Benedictine college located in Cullman, Alabama, USA. It closed in 1979.
It was established as a junior college by the Benedictine Society of Alabama as Saint Bernard College in 1929, although it had been conferring Bachelor's degrees since 1893 as a college preparatory school. Between 1948 and 1953, the Board of Trustees worked on expanding the college to four-year college status; the first class graduated in 1955. Saint Benedict received its accreditation as a senior college the next year from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The college preparatory program was disbanded in 1962. Saint Benedict then merged with Cullman College in 1976 and adopted the name of Southern Benedictine College. For a time, their golf team was ranked nationally. [http://www.optinwireless.com/partner_profile_mcm_technology.shtml]

St. Bernard Preparatory School was reopened in 1984 on the Southern Benedictine campus. It received its accreditation in 1995.
