COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) counts on fifteen colleges & universities providing ample opportunity for students to get involved in the community, explore personal faith, and connect to new ideas and perspectives.
You’ll find diverse student groups on our campuses: Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party members, Independents; Asian Student Associations, Black Student Unions, Latino Student Associations, International Student Organizations; Gay-Straight Alliances and LGBT groups; and faith-based groups representing Muslim, Jewish, Mormon, Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, and other denominations.
What does it mean to be a college or university of The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)? That’s a reasonable question. The 15 schools, while diverse, have a number of things in common:
-
A commitment to academic excellence and the liberal arts;
-
An environment of open inquiry;
-
An inclusive, welcoming community that respects all people and cultures;
-
A focus on character, service, and leadership; and
-
A passion for social justice.
You’ll find students and faculty with strong values and faith. You’ll also notice a philosophy of faith paired with reason: The best learning and personal growth occur when the intellectual and spiritual are combined.
