Paul Quinn College (abbreviated as PQC) is a private, liberal arts, historically black college (HBCU) located on 144 acres just south of downtown Dallas, Texas, United States. The college is affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME).
Paul Quinn College is the oldest historically black college west of the Mississippi River and the nation's first urban work college.HBCU Digest named Paul Quinn "2011 HBCU of the Year" and voted the college "the 5th most underrated HBCU in the nation". In 2012, HBCU Digest also named the College's student government association the "2012 HBCU Student Government Association of the Year" and named the College President, Michael J. Sorrell, the "2012 HBCU Male President of the Year".
Paul Quinn is also home to the WE over ME Farm, which was created through a partnership with PepsiCo to bring healthy food to the food desert of Dallas.
The college was founded in 1872 in Austin, Texas by a small group of African Methodist Episcopal preachers at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church. Originally, the college was called the Connectional High School and Institute. The school’s original purpose was to educate freedmen and their children.
In 1877, the College moved from Austin to Waco, and was renamed Waco College. Classes were held in a modest one-building trade school; freedmen were taught the skills of blacksmithing, carpentry, tanning, and saddle work, common occupations for the area, especially in the increasingly segregated state. This was the model established by the Tuskegee Institute.
