“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.”

“Asbury provides a Christ centered environment for learning, which makes Asbury a special place. Asbury has a wide variety of classes to choose from to help narrow down your interest in psychology. It is great to be in a place where the professors truly care.”

Words from our Students

“At Asbury University, you are taught by faculty who care about your growth and formation as a whole person. Faculty take the time to invest in students by helping students network with professionals in their desired vocational field as well as by leading Bible studies or having students over for dinner.”

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. Asbury is a place where I have been able to grow further and deeper into the person God has intended for me to be. I have found God in this place, as well as a supportive and kind community.”

— Skyela

Intercultural Studies

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.”

— Annie
Appointed Class of 2021
Journalism

Words from our Students

“The best part of being an Asbury student has been the support and guidance I’ve received from Asbury’s compassionate faculty and students. I’ve been able to pursue a degree while working full-time, traveling the world, and receiving guidance during difficult times in my life. Asbury goes above and beyond anything I’ve experienced at other universities.”

— Brittany

Words from our Students

“At Asbury, I am not allowed to settle for “good enough,” whether in academics, faith, friendships, or work. I’ve been challenged to grow at every step, and I have found a loving community here to support me. God is invited into everything, from class to worship to relationships to work. Asbury is a place where you grow in relationship to God.”
