| Mission | |
| School mission: | Delving into the big questions. Seeking truth. Cultivating integrity of mind and purity of heart. Taking what you learn and serving a needy world. Demonstrating an abiding concern for addressing real-world issues. Uniting scholarship and stewardship. This is what being a Houghton College student is all about. Our highest priority is to provide students with a rigorous Christ-centered education in the liberal arts and sciences. Liberal arts at Houghton typically include many experiences beyond the classroom: internships and practica, collaborative research with professors, service learning, and study abroad. The heart of Houghton's mission, helping students integrate faith and learning, goes well beyond the chapel and the classroom. Students build houses with Habitat for Humanity, assist missionaries in service, tutor refugee children, and work with local churches. Houghton has a global emphasis, enabling international and cross-cultural learning through intensive study abroad opportunities in places such as London, Australia, and Tanzania. Houghton is an ideal place for building relationships. Through a semester long Bible study with a close-knit group of friends. Planning a worship service for the residents of a local nursing home. Having dinner and a class discussion at the home of a professor. These enduring relationships continue long after graduation. |
