'''Voorhees College''' is a [[college]] in [[Vellore]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. It was founded in 1898 as Arcot Mission College, when Arcot Mission High School was amalgamated to the [[University of Madras]]. The college is named after its benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph and Elizabeth Voorhees of the [[Reformed Church in America]].<ref name=Hope>{{cite book|last1=Hope College, Michigan|title=Elizabeth Rodman Voorhees|publisher=Hope College, Michigan|url=http://www.hope.edu/student/residential/oncamp/voorhees.pdf}}</ref> The College was earlier known as Ralph and Elizabeth Voorhees college when it was a Co-educational institution. In the late sixties towards the end of the tenure of Dr. A.N. Gopal, the then principal, the college stopped admitting women students and dropped the names Ralph and Elizabeth and became known as Voorhees College. The college began offering master's level courses in 1975. The College is managed by the Church of South India, Diocese of Vellore. The Chairman of the College is the Bishop of Vellore, and the motto is "In vain without God."

The college is affiliated to [[Thiruvalluvar University]], [[Vellore]] and it is accredited by the [[National Assessment and Accreditation Council]], with an A grade (2005).
