It was organized in 1851 as Mossy Creek Missionary Baptist Seminary. In 1880, the college was renamed Carson College for donor James Harvey Carson (1801-1880). In 1899, Carson College joined its neighboring female college, Newman College, to become the South's first co-educational institution. In 1919, Carson-Newman College was officially affiliated with the Tennessee Baptist Convention. The College was admitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1927 and the Association of American Colleges in 1928.
