"At EMU I'm challenged to learn more about my faith and back up what I believe."

-Anita Hoover, nursing major

"A top Iranian leader spoke in my 'exploring conflict and peace' class this spring. We asked a broad range of questions and now I can visualize those affected by the American-Iran conflict. It was humbling."

- Janelle Freed, justice, peace and conflict studies major

A different kind of Christian college

EMU offers a Christ-centered education, shaped by Mennonite values. Our community will challenge you to consider how your walk with Christ affects choices you make every day... about how you use your gifts to serve others, how you share about your faith in Christ, what kind of imprint you make on the environment and more.

It's about building a just world for all.

It’s about sharing Christ's peace.

It’s looking to Jesus Christ as a teacher and model.

Learn from Others

Here you’ll learn from others through service with the community learning program , a diverse campus and study in other cultures. You'll get to know people of other Christian denominations and other faiths.

EMU students are prepared to serve and lead in a global context.

Spiritual life is nurtured in a variety of settings, support by campus ministries staff and students. An emphasis on God's call to care for creation and make sustainable life choices is woven throughout all our programs, undergraduate as well as graduate and seminary.
