Biscayne Southern College was located in North Carolina, United States, with its main campus in Concord. It ceased operating in 2004.[1]

The college was founded in 1948 in Concord.[2] In 1974, Evans Business College in Gastonia (founded in 1940) was taken over by Biscayne Southern as a branch campus.[3] And in 1975, North Carolina granted the college, now with three locations (Gastonia, Concord, and Charlotte), a license to have degree granting programs.[4] John R. Hamrick became dean of the Charlotte campus in 1973.[5]

As of 1983, the college was operating as a liberal arts college with a total enrollment of 526, and offered four-year degrees.[2]
