On a Mission to Do More
Guided by our Swedish and Lutheran heritage, we offer a campus, faculty, and staff who embody the highest standards of teaching and scholarship and align to a framework that's both interdisciplinary and international in perspective. By balancing tradition and education, we foster the development of both skills and values, promoting an open and authentic exchange of ideas and independent pursuit of learning. Because we know that young adulthood is a critical time to absorb, discover, and search for what matters most to you.
The purpose of a 麻豆视频 education is to help its students attain their full potential as people, to develop in them a capacity and passion for lifelong learning, and to prepare them for fulfilling lives of leadership and service in society. That's why we foster a community where a mature understanding of the Christian faith and lives of service are nurtured and students are encouraged to work toward a just and peaceful world.
