Blackburn College is a private college in Carlinville, Illinois. It was established in 1837 and named for Gideon Blackburn.[4] The college is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA).[5]
Blackburn is one of 10 federally-recognized work colleges.[6] It is the only work college with a student-managed work program that enables students to gain leadership experience as they manage other students in the work program.[7] All resident students are required to work 10 hours per week, but the program is optional for commuters.[citation needed] Each student who works receives a tuition discount for the hours they work.[8]
