What Makes Ambrose Christian?

Faculty

The faculty at Ambrose teach and foster learning that is anchored within Christian intellectual and spiritual tradition.

Culture

The culture of this institution is marked by hopeful realism - rejecting both despair and pseudo-optimism.

Church

Life at Ambrose is marked by an active and sustained dialogue with local churches - a dialogue marked by shared learning and mutual respect - along with accountability to our sponsoring affiliations.

Curriculum

Our Christian identity is reflected in our curriculum. Though there's significant overlap, a Biology degree or a Business degree at Ambrose University look distinctively different than those at a secular university.

Chapel

Chapel runs as a powerful counterpoint to the classroom at Ambrose. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning students can pause to worship with friends and faculty.
There is no wisdom without worship because worship integrates the heart and the mind.” - Gordon T. Smith, President of Ambrose University

Experience

Your experience at university is about more than earning credentials - it is about who you become. Along with academic growth and support, an intentional part of the Christian vision of Ambrose is to provide our students counsel, guidance, formation, and mentoring in all aspects of their lives.
