Huntington University is a comprehensive liberal arts college located in Huntington, Indiana. Huntington University offers associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees in approximately 70 academic concentrations.

As a Christian university, Huntington is "committed to developing the whole person, assisting students to understand all areas of human knowledge from the perspective of a Christian worldview, and preparing them to impact their world for Christ." [1]

Huntington is "not a refuge from the contemporary world, but an arena for encounter with that world and creative response to it." With the conviction that "all truth is God’s truth," the University educates its students "in the liberal arts and their chosen disciplines, always seeking to examine the relationship between the disciplines and God's revelation in Jesus Christ." [2]

Huntington University has a strong historic and ongoing relationship with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, an evangelical denomination headquartered in Huntington, Indiana.

Formerly called "Central College" and "Huntington College," the institution adopted its current name with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and special chapel service on Thursday, September 1, 2005.
