Academics

Our students walk a different path. They receive a unique university education built upon the conviction that all of life and learning belongs to God. And because all truth is God’s truth, undergraduate students study the liberal arts and their elected professional studies from a biblical perspective. Graduate students focus on professional development as well as biblical and theological studies.

Academics at Cairn University are designed to challenge you personally, professionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
