Malone University

Malone University is a place where students explore what God has in store for their futures. Regardless of where a student stands with questions of faith, we believe God wants to work in students through their classroom experiences, activities, athletics, relationships, residence life, and spiritual life to draw them to Christ's purposes.

In a crowded marketplace and in an environment in which many question the value of higher education, Malone remains a vital resource for Northeast Ohio and we approach our work with a forward leaning posture. Our vision at Malone is to be the regional university of choice recognized for Christ-centered academic excellence, spiritual formation, student engagement, and leadership in thought and service. It is a bold vision that serves to guide our work on behalf of our students.

Malone’s integrated approach to teaching and learning allows students’ academic pursuits to be intertwined with their faith. Learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. It happens in the residence halls, in Bible studies, on athletic fields, in service projects, and in conversations with faculty and staff.

We support students as they explore and develop their beliefs. We’re not just preparing students for jobs, we’re preparing them for life. In life, your beliefs, attitudes and values matter. Malone prepares students for a life of service to others, with a Christian worldview that is informed by a sense of what is just, not simply what is moral. A comprehensive Christian university of liberal arts and sciences, Malone’s academic program offers breadth and depth with a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional studies programs.

With an unwavering commitment to academic quality, our programs are supported by a liberal arts core that prepares students to think critically, communicate well, work with people from other cultures, and to analyze information and see the linkages between disparate ideas.

Malone faculty are highly regarded in their area of expertise and are deeply committed to their students and to faith integration. The mentoring relationship between Malone faculty and students extends far beyond graduation. Malone’s location offers students the best of both worlds, a vibrant campus experience and easy access to the cultural amenities of three major metropolitan areas in Canton, Akron, and Cleveland.

These elements of the Malone experience have uniquely prepared our alumni to make a difference in their communities and professions. Armed with an education of the highest quality and a Christian worldview, our graduates are uniquely equipped to face the urgent challenges facing our world. Malone graduates are sought after by employers throughout the region and the world. In our most recent survey, over the past four years approximately 90 percent of our graduates list themselves as “satisfactorily occupied,” meaning they are employed full-time in their major, in a field unrelated to their major, or pursuing a graduate degree. That compares favorably to any of our competitors.

We support students as they explore and develop their beliefs. We prepare students not only for jobs, but life. In the workplace and beyond, talent and skill matter, but it also is our beliefs, attitudes, and values that turn conviction into action and matter most.

Malone University is a Christian university for the arts, sciences, and professions in the liberal arts tradition, affiliated with the Evangelical Friends Church.

Our vision is “To be the regional university of choice recognized for Christ-centered academic excellence, spiritual formation, student engagement, and leadership in thought and service.”

The mission of Malone University is to provide students with an education based on biblical faith in order to develop men and women in intellectual maturity, wisdom, and Christian faith who are committed to serving the church, community, and world.

A Christian university for the arts, sciences, and professions, Malone grounds its educational mission in the biblical call to seek Christ's Kingdom First in all things. As we work out our calling, we put into action foundational principles that reflect our Christian faith, our Evangelical Friends heritage, and our desire to seek truth. These foundational principles help guide our work over time in the face of changing external exigencies and are the means by which we articulate what is and has been intrinsically important to the institution.

We strive to provide an education that produces graduates with a love of truth and a vibrant, mature faith. Our intent is that students attain the wisdom, knowledge, and skills necessary to serve, engage, and transform the communities in which they live and work. To this end, we provide the curricular and co-curricular context in which to pursue the following educational goals.

In our modern, ever-changing world, it is said that today’s college graduates will change not just jobs, but careers, an average of five times during their lifetime. At Malone, we want to prepare you for jobs that don't yet exist, and we want to equip you to serve the world around you in a manner that demonstrates Christ's Kingdom First.

Our faculty, who are world-class scholars in their fields of expertise, create curriculum with rigor and depth, positioning our graduates to secure fulfilling jobs and graduate program admission all over the country.
