History

In 1934, two seminarians endorsed by the Scandinavian Conference of the Methodist Church — one Swedish, the other Danish-Norwegian — formed Evanston Collegiate Institute in Evanston, Illinois. [2] Many early students found employment at the Washington National Insurance Company of Evanston, a major financial supporter of the school. [3]

In 1950, the school was renamed in honor of Washington National's founders, Curtis P. Kendall and his family.

Business programs at Kendall College began in the 1970s. The School of Business was created in 2007. In 1985, the School of Culinary Arts was established. Building on the culinary program, a Bachelor of Arts in Hotel and Restaurant Management was created in 1987. In 2005, the program was revised into a Bachelor of Arts in Hospitality Management. A partnership was later formed with Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and Glion Institute of Higher Education, including the creation of exchange programs with Les Roches campuses in Switzerland and Spain. [4]

In 2005, Kendall College moved from Evanston to Goose Island, Chicago, in the former Sara Lee Research and Development building. [5] In 2008, Kendall College was acquired by Laureate Education. [6] In 2018, Kendall College and its programs were transferred to National Louis University. [7] [8]
