United Methodist Colleges and Universities

The United Methodist Church was formed in 1968 from a union of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church. Its theological traditions are rooted in the Protestant Reformation and Wesleyanism.

Methodist Colleges & Universities

United Methodist colleges and universities help carry this tradition forward to new generations. If you want to be part of this tradition, attending a United Methodist institution could be an important step.

A central principle of the Methodist religion is that faith should be put into action. United Methodist universities and colleges can be an ideal environment for doing that, because these schools create an environment where ideals are reflected as a lifestyle.

The United Methodist Church believes that a person's full human potential can only be realized through a relationship with God. Postsecondary institutions that follow Methodist principles can give you a chance to advance that relationship, while at the same time building academic credentials for your career.
