About
Taylor University is a top-ranked, interdenominational Christian liberal arts institution best known for its deeply relational community and rigorous integration of faith and learning. The university boasts standout academic programs in computer science, film and media production, education, and pre-medical studies, all emphasizing close undergraduate mentorship. Campus culture revolves around an intentional residential experience—guided by a shared pledge called the "Life Together Covenant"—and cherished student traditions like the famous annual "Silent Night" basketball game.
