"As
an aspiring physician, I researched medical schools across the country. I
applied to EMU as well as nine other colleges. I had many exciting offers, but the only choice that I or my parents had
peace about was EMU."-- Aaron Trimble, homeschooler from Alaska.
With an average of just 13 students for every professor, you'll be encouraged to turn the classroom into a collaborative experience.
Home-schooled students -- with their strong self-confidence, critical thinking skills and disciplined study habits -- make great contributions to campus life.
They are academic leaders and student life role models.
At EMU, a small Christian liberal arts college dedicated to Anabaptist and Mennonite values of peacebuilding and service, we are ready to help make the transition from home schooling to university life a smooth one for homeschoolers.
Admissions counselors are aware of the special advantage that homeschoolers
bring to campus and are available to answer questions or concerns.
