Barclay College is a four-year private Christian college in Haviland, Kansas, United States. It is affiliated with the Religious Society of Friends. The mission of Barclay College is to prepare students in a Bible-centered environment for effective Christian life, service and leadership. It is known for ministry degrees, but the school also offers other professional degree fields. Beginning in fall 2007, the college has offered full-tuition scholarships to students who enroll full-time and pay to live in the residence halls.
In 1917, evangelist and teacher Scott T. Clark founded the Kansas Central Bible Training School on the site of Haviland Friends Academy, a Quaker high school in Haviland, Kansas. A two-year junior college course was added in 1925, and the name was changed in 1930 to Friends Bible College to more fully reflect the growing mission of the institution.
By 1968, the school's vision put an emphasis on the four-year institution, leading to closure of the high school program and an effort to secure necessary faculty and facilities. This effort received general recognition in 1975 with the granting of full accreditation by the Association for Biblical Higher Education. Barclay College adopted its current name in 1990 to honor the first Quaker theologian, Robert Barclay.
The campus in Haviland covers 13 acres (5 hectares) and contains eight primary buildings:
