Welcome, Parents!

Choosing the right college is one of the most important decisions a family will ever make. We’ll help you navigate and enjoy this time in the life of your family.

Here we give students a rare combo of academic preparation and an emphasis on global learning, peacemaking, social justice, and service to others.

Employers and graduate schools seek out EMU grads because of their intellectual strength, character, and desire for a meaningful life. 98% of EMU graduates are employed (working, engaged in service or in further study) within 12 months of graduation!

Thanks for the chance to talk about the value of the education your daughters and sons will receive at EMU. Our admissions staff looks forward to working with you! Take the time to visit our beautiful campus and experience EMU for yourself!
