Academics
Taylor University, a nondenominational Christian school, is "a small, rural campus that strongly emphasizes community," much to the students' satisfaction. Undergrads here agree that professors, administrators, and their fellow classmates bond to create a nurturing atmosphere in which to study the world from a religious perspective. The faculty, students tell us, "are incredible people. They make themselves available and accessible to their students. They are deeply concerned with their students' well-being as well as their understanding for their class. If a professor senses that you are having difficulty in class, they are more than willing to set aside time to help you." Similarly, the administration "is great. It is always possible to get in touch with any of the administrators if you need to talk to them. They are very understanding and care for their students." Most of all, students appreciate how "most courses emphasize the text and Christian faith. The integration of faith and learning creates for an exciting aspect of class. Taylor challenges students academically and spiritually." According to some, Taylor's nondenominational status "is our biggest strength and our biggest weakness. It is our strength in that we get people from every church denomination worshiping together in unity. It is our weakness in that no one single denomination supports us financially."
