BHANDARKARS' ARTS & SCIENCE COLLEGE, Kundapura is a first-grade college of Arts, Science and Commerce. This College came into existence mainly as a result of the munificent donation of Rs. 2,00,000 by Dr. A.S. Bhandarkar, who was then practicing as a doctor in Bahrain, Persian Gulf. Many leading citizens of Kundapura and the Rotary Club of Kundapura worked diligently to establish this college, which had long been a felt need in the taluk. With the co-operation of the public of Kundapura (managed by BASC Trust), the Academy of General Education, Manipal, took up the responsibility of rearing this institution. The College is re-accredited 'A' by NAAC in the year 2011.

The College, sponsored by the Academy of General Education, Manipal, started functioning in June 1963 and is today one of the progressive institutions affiliated with Mangalore University.
