Some people think ‘Christian university
college’ is an oxymoron. How, they ask, can one honestly pursue the
best of human understanding, and still be deeply committed to the Christian
faith?
At Taylor University College, it is our very commitment
to the Christian faith which demands our honest, rigorous pursuit of the
best of human understanding. Our call as disciples is to love God with all
our minds, as well as our hearts and strength.
Because of this commitment, we demand that our faculty
be both disseminators and creators of the best of human knowledge. They all
have earned doctorates, and are professionally involved in their
disciplines.

But while academic credibility is important, it is only
part of what we value. At Taylor University College, we are also concerned
that our faculty be excellent in the classroom. They all work hard at being
outstanding teachers through the use of a variety of creative,
participative and effective pedagogical techniques. What our students
experience is academic rigour and excellent pedagogy, in a context designed
to nurture Christian faith.
At Taylor, academic quality works together with our
institution-wide commitment to the spiritual formation of the whole person.
Whether inside the classroom or out, intellectual, moral and spiritual
growth are nurtured through mentoring relationships, accountability and a
commitment to compassionate ministry to a needy world.
At Taylor University College, students are valued as
creations of God – whose lives are transformed by a community
committed to loving God with all its heart, strength and mind.
