Judson University
Description
Judson University is a four-year Christian college of the liberal arts, sciences and professions, committed to an evangelical expression of Christian faith and living, and accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Judson offers four-year programs as well as degree completion programs for non-traditional students.
Judson’s roots extend back to 1913 and the founding of Northern Baptist Theological Seminary. From its very first day, NBTS offered both graduate and undergraduate education to men and women training for the ministry. When the seminary portion of Northern Baptist moved from Chicago to Lombard, Illinois, in the early 1960s, it was decided to make the college an independent entity. Under the guidance of Dr. Benjamin P. Browne, college and seminary president, the "new" college was founded in 1963 in Elgin, Illinois, along the shores of the Fox River. It was named after Adoniram Judson, the first American missionary to foreign shores.
From its birth on a 19-acre private estate, Judson has grown today to a campus of 90-acres of woods and spacious lawns. Fifteen buildings dot the campus, including four student residence halls, a campus apartment building, a library, a science building, a fine arts building, a fitness center, a campus commons, Creekside South, athletic fields, the Lindner Center (a seven-story classroom, office and residential facility), and as a center of spiritual life, a 700-seat chapel. A new state-of-the-art academic center to house the Division of Art, Design and Architecture and an expanded library named the Harm A. Weber Academic Center, employs innovative "green" technology and is one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings in the U.S.
