EMU — a different kind of Christian college

A diverse student body, small classes, professors who are always available, and the chance to study abroad immersed in another culture - recent grads say these are just some of the things that make our school a unique college experience.

Here students and professors share a desire to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, offer service to others, talk about any issue, and work for peace. EMU is recognized for offering an oustanding faith-based liberal arts education.

Courses are geared toward personal formation, to encourage students to think outside themselves and consider their impact on the world. It's what makes EMU a different kind of Christian college.

Whether you're a first-year student, transfer, homeschooled, international, “third culture kid,” a re-admitted student, or a parent looking for more information, our admissions staff is excited to get to know you. We want to find out more about you.

What's important to you?
