Eureka College is a four-year, private, liberal arts and sciences college that provides its students with personalized learning and life experiences.

Eureka's greatest resources are its people. The faculty, staff and students at the College form a community that fosters learning through interaction with others, as well as the individual pursuit of knowledge. The people at Eureka create a college with unique warmth and personality.

Eureka College is committed to a renewed relationship with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The College was founded in 1855 by members of the Christian Church. Today, this historical foundation is expressed in the strategic goal, "Eureka College will increase the presence of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) tradition in all areas of campus life and have EC recognized as one of the Top 3 schools affiliated with the church."

This commitment is also demonstrated by new grants and scholarships for Disciples students.
