[History & Doctrine]

In 1897, William McKinley was inaugurated President of the United States. Few American homes featured telephones, electric light bulbs, or indoor plumbing. Henry Ford was still trying to perfect the horseless carriage. And in Indiana, Central College opened its doors. United Brethren in Christ Bishop Milton Wright (whose sons, Orville and Wilbur, would be the first to fly) offered the prayer of dedication on September 21, 1897. Since 1897, Central College has seen a few name changes, the addition of over 65 rigorously challenging academic programs, strategic construction of state-of-the-art facilities, enrollment growth of over 1000 students from around the world. Huntington University is a nationally recognized, premiere Christ-centered institution; the cornerstone of Central College over 112 years ago.

As a Christian college, 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. Huntington University recognizes that, as a Christian college, it must make itself not a refuge from the contemporary world but an arena for encounter with that world and
creative response to it.
