About

Anderson University is a private, Christ-centered liberal arts institution in central Indiana, widely recognized for its strong programs in nursing, music business, cybersecurity, and business through the Falls School of Business. Rooted in the Church of God tradition, campus culture is defined by a close-knit, faith-integrated environment where students actively engage in regular chapel services, vibrant performing arts, and NCAA Division III athletics. A defining hallmark of the student experience is the university’s signature Tri-S program, which provides unique, heavily subsidized global service-learning and cross-cultural travel opportunities across the world.
