What's a Christian College?

An evangelical Christian college's Philosophy of Education*

With the conviction that all truth is God’s truth, the University exists to carry out the mission of Christ in higher education.

As a Christian college, Huntington is committed to developing the whole person, assisting students to understand all areas of human knowledge from the perspective of a Christian worldview, and preparing them to impact their world for Christ.

While the programs of the University are designed especially for students who desire to study in such an environment, the University welcomes students of all faiths who understand the objectives of the University and are willing to abide by its regulations. The University is committed to a strong liberal arts emphasis, with general requirements in the arts, history, literature, philosophy, and natural and social sciences for all students, regardless of the vocation or profession for which they are preparing.

The University recognizes that it is unsuccessful to the extent that students learn information but are not challenged to rethink their values; students become familiar with a major field of study but are not ready to do independent and critical thinking in those fields; students learn about current problems, issues and controversies but feel no need to make personal responses to them; students maintain Christian beliefs and practices but insulate their Christian faith from other aspects of their experience and do not think through, broaden, and deepen their faith in response to the challenges presented both by their academic and career pursuits and by their awareness of current problems and issues.

Student Life

According to national student satisfaction surveys, Huntington delivers one of the best college experiences in the country. We get especially high marks for excellent classroom instruction, knowledgeable faculty, and spiritual growth in and out of the classroom—all exceeding national norms at other Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) schools.
