As a Christian liberal arts college, Huntington is committed to developing the whole person, assisting students in understanding all areas of human knowledge from the perspective of a Christian worldview, and preparing them to impact their world for Christ. While the University university programs are designed especially for students who desire to study in such an environment, the University welcomes students of all faiths who understand the university's objectives and are willing to abide by its regulations. The University is committed to a strong liberal arts emphasis, with general requirements in the arts, history, literature, philosophy, and natural and social sciences for all students, regardless of the vocation or profession they are preparing. As a Christian liberal arts college, Huntington University recognizes that it must make itself not a refuge from the contemporary world but an arena for an encounter with that world and creative response to it. The University must emphasize the necessity for the students to make a critical and personal response to the issues encountered in the various fields of study and challenge students to think through the relationship between their Christian faith, their academic pursuits, their career goals, and their personal lives. These challenges should include unsolved problems and open questions and issues for which satisfactory solutions have already been worked out. The University must accept disagreement and controversy as a normal and healthy part of its life as a college, rather than viewing them as a threat to be avoided by silence on controversial topics.
