About Talladega College

Home to the celebrated Amistad Murals, Talladega College carries a deep HBCU legacy with a reputation for strong teaching and an intentionally broad liberal arts foundation. Students dig into the arts and humanities, the sciences, business, and education with close faculty attention and plenty of writing and research. The campus includes updated labs and studios, a light filled library, an art museum, a lively student center, and fitness spaces. Advising, tutoring, a writing center, career coaching, and counseling are easy to find and actually used.

Student life feels close knit and proud. Choir and marching band performances, Greek letter traditions, service projects, and intramurals keep things moving, while the surrounding town offers quiet focus plus trails, lakes, and a famous motorsports venue within easy reach. The culture leans into history, leadership, and showing up for one another. Career prep emphasizes internships with regional partners and faculty connections that lead to real conversations. Notable alumni include civil rights attorney Arthur D. Shores and higher education leader William R. Harvey.
