“Anderson University is honored to be listed among the 50 Best Christian Colleges,” said Provost Dr. Marie Morris. “It is fascinating to read about what distinguishes one Christian college from another. At AU we create a relational community where we pursue rigorous academic study in the context of Christian discovery recognizing that educating head, heart, and hands is essential in the growth and development of learners and preparation for employment. This affirmation will simply fuel our ongoing passion to do our very best to achieve our mission to educate for a life of faith and service in the church and society.”
