Spencerian Business College is the name of various business schools established in the 19th century by Platt R. Spencer, his son Robert C. Spencer, or by Enos Spencer (whose relation to the other two Spencers is unclear), sometimes in association with the Bryant & Stratton chain, sometimes in rivalry, sometimes both. These included:
- Spencerian Commercial School, later Spencerian College in Louisville, Kentucky, founded by Enos Spencer. In 2018, its programs were merged into the College of Allied Health and the College of Nursing of Sullivan University.
