Purposes of the University

In order to advance this mission, Taylor University is committed to the following purposes:

  • To provide whole person education, involving students in learning experiences imbued with a vital Christian interpretation of truth and life which foster their intellectual, emotional, physical, vocational, social, and spiritual development.
  • To offer liberal arts, professional and life-long education based upon the conviction that all truth has its source in God, and that being Biblically anchored, the Christian faith should permeate all learning leading to a consistent life of worship, servant leadership, stewardship, and world outreach.
  • To create specific experiences wherein the integrative focus of a Christian liberal arts education is clarified, personalized, and applied.
  • To contribute to the advancement of human knowledge and understanding and serve the evangelical Christian church and the larger (public) community for the glory of God.
  • To foster a biblical model of relationships that acknowledges both unity and diversity of the followers of Christ within a covenant community and which can be evidenced in a continuing lifestyle of service to and concern for others
  • To foster and maintain appropriate and effective support services that enable maximum program effectiveness throughout the university.
