Christian Colleges and Universities
What is a
Christian College?
John Paff
learned web design at Huntington
University,
a Christian
college of the
liberal arts.
He joined the staff in 1993 after being impressed by the school's
Philosophy of Education, Mission Statement, and Statement of Faith.
As a
Christian college, Huntington
University is committed to developing the whole
person, assisting students to understand all areas of human knowledge from the perspective
of a Christian worldview, and preparing them to impact their world for
Christ. While the
programs of the University are designed especially for students who desire to study in such
an environment, the University welcomes students of all faiths who understand the objectives
of the University and are willing to abide by its regulations.
The University is committed to a strong
liberal arts
emphasis, with general requirements
in the arts, history, literature, philosophy, and natural and social sciences for all
students, regardless of the vocation or profession for which they are preparing.
In developing the whole person, the
University emphasizes intellectual, physical, social,
and religious objectives.
• The College encourages the development of thorough scholarship; habits of
honest, clear, constructive, critical thought; a command of oral and written English; an
understanding of the meaning, methods, and interrelationships of the principal fields of
learning; an appreciation of beauty as expressed in nature and the arts; and concentration
in one or two fields of learning in preparation for life’s work.
• The University encourages the student to value physical well-being as a basis for
wholesome living and good health and to develop a personality that makes possible mutually
satisfying and cooperative relations with others.
• The University encourages students to develop their faith, to interpret fields of
learning from a Christian perspective, to commit themselves to Christ as Savior and Lord,
and to develop traits of Christian character and service.
Huntington
University recognizes that, as a Christian college, it must make itself not a refuge from the
contemporary world but an arena for encounter with that world and creative response to it.
The University must emphasize the necessity for the students to make a critical and personal
response to the issues encountered in the various fields of study and challenge students
to think through the relationship between their Christian faith, their academic pursuits,
their career goals, and their personal lives. These challenges should include unsolved
problems and open questions, as well as issues for which satisfactory solutions have
already been worked out. The University must accept disagreement and controversy as a normal
and healthy part of its life as a college, rather than viewing them as a threat to be
avoided by silence on controversial topics.
The University recognizes that it is
unsuccessful to the extent that students learn information but are not challenged to
rethink their values; students become familiar with a major field of study but are not
ready to do independent and critical thinking in those fields; students learn about
current problems, issues and controversies but feel no need to make personal responses to
them; students maintain Christian beliefs and practices but insulate their Christian faith
from other aspects of their experience and do not think through, broaden, and deepen their
faith in response to the challenges presented both by their academic and career pursuits
and by their awareness of current problems and issues.
