Taylor University, founded in 1846, is one of the oldest evangelical Christian colleges in America. A focus on integration of faith and learning is evident through more than the symbolic spires of the bell tower, but in the way professors, students and alumni are living their lives. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Taylor University the #1 regional college-Midwest seven years in a row. This whole-person education prepares you for more than a job, but to be a life-long learner.
In addition to the academic rigor, Taylor is committed to the individual growth of the student. In a community where 90% of the students choose to live on campus because of the relationships they are able to establish, where over 54,000 hours are annually volunteered in ministry and community service, and where 75% of the faculty and staff live within walking distance of campus… people matter. This student centered campus creates unique opportunities for research, internships, study abroad and ministry. This is reflected in the fact that 80% of students participate in a travel experience during their time at Taylor and 91% are employed or in graduate school within 6 months of graduation.
