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.
