While many faculty are active in publishing and research, and some are leaders in their fields, the emphasis is on teaching and mentoring students in a nurturing, spiritually informed, and academically supportive environment. Students are encouraged to travel, engage in service-learning projects, and participate in internship experiences as a part of their education. ENC is one of 160 members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).
ENC students, from a variety of faith backgrounds, are challenged to consider their spiritual journey as seriously as they consider their academic journey. As a Christian college welcoming more than 40 denominations, ENC is committed to helping students find balance as Christians in their relationship with God, their relationship within their community, and their relationship with the world. Students are encouraged to examine those relationships throughout their time growing and learning at ENC, which will serve as the cornerstone for lifelong spiritual development.
For over 116 years, ENC has prepared students for leadership and service lives through a liberal arts education. Today, students are educated for the 21st century through 41 majors, where a global perspective transcends academics. 95% of ENC graduates are employed or in graduate school. ENC graduates' salaries after attending are $11,500 higher than the national average – a true testament of the academic excellence to which ENC is firmly committed. Fueled by a passion for their subject areas, faculty members are active in publishing and research. They are leaders in their fields and are continually focused on building society's next generation of leaders.
