About EMU

EMU is a leader among faith-based universities offering undergraduate, graduate and seminary programs that emphasize peacebuilding, cross-cultural understanding, sustainability and service to others.

EMU offers a Christian education like no other, from a Mennonite Anabaptist perspective. Here, professors are mentors who challenge you to grow in your faith, to broaden your worldview through time spent in another culture, and to work side-by-side to reach new academic heights.

Students take courses at our main campus in Harrisonburg, VA., at our Lancaster, Pa., site, online, and across the globe through our well-known cross-cultural program.

Life after graduation
