Goshen College, established in 1894, is a private, coeducational, residential, Christian college of the liberal arts and sciences rooted in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition.

The distinctiveness of a Goshen education derives from the college's dedication to five core values in preparing students as leaders for the church and the world. Stemming from our Christ-centeredness is our commitment to passionate learning, global citizenship, servant leadership and compassionate peacemaking.

As a Christian, liberal arts college known for its outstanding academic programs and innovative study abroad opportunities, Goshen College challenges students to embrace a whole new world of people, ideas and purpose.

Wherever your Goshen education may take you, your journey will be as meaningful as it is practical, as purposeful as it is unpredictable, as fulfilling as it is fun.
