History
Brookstone College of Business was founded in 1939, when it was two schools known as the Asheboro Business College and Ashmore Business College until they merged in 1984 and relocated to the Piedmont Triad, where Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point converge. Asheboro Business College was the first junior college in North Carolina licensed to give out business degrees and Ashmore Business College was the first nationally accredited business college in North Carolina. In 1987 a second campus was opened in Charlotte, North Carolina. BCB is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) and awards certificates and diplomas.

- I am a former student at Brookstone College and it is a remarkable school. It has a small environment with passion and love. Brookstone helped me find my strengths and weaknesses to make me a better person, as well as, a better employee in the workplace. I would recommend Brookstone to anyone looking to further their education!!
