Words from our Students

“Having the opportunity to do directed study research with Dr. Jones during my Junior year and participate in Asbury’s research symposium SEARCH was incredible. Dr. Jones found a way to combine everything I am interested in into the perfect research project.”

Communication

Words from our Students

“Asbury lives up to the motto “Academic Excellence and Spiritual Vitality.” I feel very prepared for life after college based on what I have learned in the Media Communication department, but they have also taught me so much about how to be a person for God in my life.”

Media Communication

Words from our Students

“Asbury University is an incredibly unique college experience, and what creates this uniqueness is the intersection of faith and the liberal arts, two aspects of life that have been studied together for centuries. In our current day, however, Asbury remains one of a few institutions that still educates at this intersection.”

Words from our Students

“At first, I did not want to come to Asbury because I was afraid of being so far away from home (New York). However, I blindly trusted in God’s plan, and I’m so glad I did.
