Since its founding in 1874, Andrews University has been dedicated to integrating rigorous scholarship, quality research, and practical Christianity into its curriculum. What began as a small school in Battle Creek, Michigan, with just 12 students, has grown into the most recognized Adventist educational institution in the world.

Named after John Nevins Andrews, a pioneering thinker and the first overseas missionary of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the University embodies his legacy of thoughtful inquiry and compassionate action.

Andrews attracts students from across the U.S. and around the globe, offering a culturally diverse, faith-focused environment that prepares graduates to lead with both knowledge and purpose.
