Not to be confused with Blairs College.

History of Blair College

The College was founded in Pueblo, Colorado as Brown's School of Business in 1897, changing its name to Blair's Business College in 1918. In 1981, Blair Business College changed its name to Blair Junior College. In 1996, the College was acquired by Rhodes Colleges, Inc., a division of Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and the name was changed to Blair College. In 2004 Blair College closed its doors to all students as it was no longer considered accredited due to its Corinthian status. In 2006 the school was renamed Everest College and opened a new location in Colorado Springs, but no longer held its accreditation with any department of education universities. Sadly any student that attended this school will no longer be able to transfer credits to a 4-year university to obtain a degree, and the department of education will not allow students loans to be forgiven, so that the student can continue school elsewhere.
