Sojourner–Douglass College was an American private college organized around an Afrocentric focus of study, located in Baltimore, Maryland. The college was founded in 1972 and focused on educating mature students. The college's accreditation was revoked by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools effective June 30, 2015, and the college remains closed for instruction.
Established in 1972 as the Homestead-Montebello Center of Antioch University, the institution became an independent entity with a four-year program on July 1, 1980 and was named in honor of African-American abolitionists Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass.
Charles Simmons Ph.D., was the institution's first and only president. In 2013, he was recognized "for a lifetime of dedication to reducing inequalities" at the Second Annual Symposium on the Social Detereminants of Health.
Sojourner–Douglass College's bachelor's degree programs were geared toward adult learners. S-DC also offered a master's degree in applied social science. It was accredited by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
The college suffered from financial difficulties with its regional accreditation being threatened several times. In March 2014, Sojourner was placed on "show cause" status with the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Until September 1, 2015 it had to convince its accreditor not to revoke its accreditation.
