Methodist Schools

It should come as no surprise that the Methodist faith began mostly as an academic dispute with the Church of England, beginning in the mid-1700s. Today, Methodist colleges and universities continue the pursuit of academic refinement and enjoy much distinction and respect as they continue to lead America's liberal arts foundation. Methodist schools house tens of thousands of students who are given opportunities to excel at their studies at institutions like Duke University, Florida Southern College, Cornell College, University of Denver, and many more. Most of these Methodist colleges are legally autonomous under their own boards of trustees and separately chartered by their respective states.

Methodist colleges and universities have proven to be superior academic institutions in the national landscape. Many Methodist schools earn overall test scores that exceed the national average. But be sure to enhance your Methodist college education experience by attending an accredited school, because in addition to solid academic training, you will be held to higher education standards that go under review every year. Students enrolled at accredited Methodist colleges and universities are often better able to reach their full potential as they venture out into a larger world.

Regardless of the setting – public, private or distinctly Methodist colleges and universities, or even online schools – there are no guarantees. You are ultimately responsible for your education and your performance. But there are opportunities. You can find plenty of them at Methodist schools all over the country that are shining examples of quality research, progress and refinement.
