Davis College is a private, two-year college in Toledo, Ohio, United States. The school is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, a member of the North Central Association, and recognized by the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools. The medical assisting associate degree program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs and the college is approved for the training of eligible veterans. In 1881, Matthew H. Davis left his chairmanship in the mathematics department and his position as director of the business department at Albert College in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, to manage the Toledo Business College. The small school of 35 students, which had been established in 1858, rapidly grew to 350 students. During the 23 years that Davis directed the school, four other schools were absorbed, and the name was changed to Davis Business College. The curriculum was gradually changed from Latin, German, Greek, calculus, and epistolary writing to banking, mercantile trades, shorthand, and typing. After Davis’ death in 1904, his son, Thurber P. Davis, left the University of Michigan to take over the management of Davis Business College.
