Snapshot of HU

Huntington University was founded by the Church of the United Brethren in Christ upon a vital evangelical Christian faith. The Board of Trustees, the administration, and the faculty are united in the conviction that this faith should characterize the entire program of the institution. 

The trustees, administrators, faculty and staff of Huntington University annually sign a Statement of Faith. 

Huntington University welcomes students of all faiths who understand its Christ-centered objectives and are willing to uphold community standards.
