Who is Methodist University?
In September 1960, Methodist College opened for business with 88 full-time students, 12 faculty members and four buildings: the Classroom Building, the Student Union, the Science Building, and the Boiler Plant. The purpose of Methodist University is to provide an undergraduate and graduate education firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition that nurtures moral values and ethical decision making; to provide distinctive professional and graduate programs that complement the undergraduate programs; to provide educational and cultural services and resources to the community; and to prepare students for a variety of careers and educational pursuits. While there are many reasons to provide support for Methodist University, the ultimate purpose is to assist in providing an affordable, quality college education to deserving students, whether it is support for the operating budget, academic programs, or scholarships. Over 85% of their students receive some form of financial assistance to attend college. Support for operating expenses, academics, and athletic programs allows them to keep our tuition costs reasonable.
