ELCA Colleges and Universities
The Why
The 26 colleges and universities of the ELCA are dedicated to the freedom of inquiry and the development of the whole person in body, mind and spirit. At these institutions, students are educated for a sense of calling or vocation, opening the path toward a meaningful life of contribution to the common good through whatever career they choose.
How it Works
ELCA colleges and universities provide students with the best education possible. They offer residential, liberal arts experiences that welcome students from all backgrounds and beliefs. With an emphasis on maintaining small class sizes and low professor-to-student ratios, these institutions nurture close-knit communities that allow students to have meaningful discussions that challenge them to imagine how they will change the world.
