Before you move onto the Anderson University campus, you plan a course for your first academic year. You sit down with one of our faculty advisors, and you start your story. My own Anderson University story started in the 1970s. I came with a single focus — myself. What happened during the next four years transformed my life. My vision broadened as I aligned the focus of my life with God’s expectations for me: To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). Each academic program offered in this catalog was designed by a remarkable group of faculty who bring exceptional skills and knowledge to the classroom. Each course is a building block that fulfills our mission to educate students for lives of faith and service to the church and society. By choosing a liberal arts institution, you see value in developing not only as a professional but also as a person. Our faculty and staff are committed to mentoring you and sharing in those experiences with you as well, beginning friendships that will last long past graduation. The Anderson University community is based on the core values of integrity, excellence, servant leadership, responsibility, and generosity, and we hope you will be able to sense that in every aspect of your life at AU. I encourage you as you begin your Anderson University journey to be open to the possibilities God has for expressing those values in your life. And know that we are blessed to be part of your story. John S. Pistole, BA ’78 President General Information HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Anderson University was founded and is supported by the Church of God, with headquarters in Anderson, Ind. Founded in 1917, the school was a major step in the life of a young and vigorous fellowship of Christians originating about 1880. This fellowship, which took on a common New Testament name, often describes itself as a reformation movement. Its vision was to preach and live out a message of holiness and to invite believers into a body united by a common experience in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. The message of the church was firmly planted in the mainstream of Christian theology. The quest of this young movement was freedom from what it saw as artificial limitations of church structures and authoritative systems so that the essence of Christian truth might be realized again in freshness and wholeness. The spirit of the movement was one of freedom and joy proclaimed in one early song of the church, “The Bible is our rule of faith and Christ alone is Lord.” Out of this history, a free and open tradition has provided a supportive context for the contemporary mission of Christian higher education. The early witness of the church was through the publishing of inspirational material, songs, books, and a paper known as the Gospel Trumpet. Those who were committed to the publishing work and to the evangelistic work of the church recognized the need to train leaders and workers to take their places in the life of the church. An educational department of the publishing house was started and soon became known as the Anderson Bible Training School. The young school moved rapidly to Anderson University Undergraduate College Catalog, 2015-2017 3 General Information, continued develop a wider general education program, changed its name to Anderson College and Theological Seminary, then Anderson College, and finally, Anderson University.

More than 2,800 students and nearly 300 instructional and professional staff make up the academic community. The university is governed by a board of trustees ratified by the General Assembly of the Church of God, administered by a president and other officers, and staffed by individuals dedicated to the mission of Christian higher education.
