“My professors in the History Department challenge me more than faculty at other schools would even be able to. By embracing a Christian perspective, we can dive deeper into history and tackle hard, uncomfortable moral issues. No school, department, or faculty is perfect, but personally I wouldn't trust my education with anyone else.”
“Asbury is a place where you can find a true sense of belonging. While you're learning and academically preparing for adult life, you're also spiritually preparing for the life God has called you to in the future. It's full of professors that care so much about you and incredible friends you'll have for the rest of your life.”
“Not only do your professors go above and beyond to help you academically, but they care about you spiritually. By no means does a Christian classroom hinder learning in any way. I believe my professors in the History Department challenge me more than faculty at other schools would even be able to.”
“The professors always put the students' needs above their own. Professors are also personable and relatable since the teacher-student ratio is low. I also love the friendly atmosphere created by everyone on campus with smiling faces. God is always moving here and has changed me in ways that are indescribable.”
