Brookstone College of Business

Established in 1939, Brookstone College of Business was previously known as Ashmore Business College and Asheboro Business College. Ashmore Business College was the first nationally accredited business college in North Carolina while Asheboro College was the first junior college of business in North Carolina licensed to award degrees. In 1984, these two schools were combined and relocated to the Piedmont Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem & High Point) area. The name of the new institution became Brookstone College of Business and the programs of study were shortened to certificate programs to facilitate quicker entry for graduates into the workforce. In 1987 a campus was opened in Charlotte, North Carolina. Today Brookstone College is established as a private business college for the primary purpose of providing postsecondary training and education for business and professional careers offering programs that culminate in the awarding of a certificate or diploma.
