Andrews University is a private institution of higher education located in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Andrews University was established in 1874 in Battle Creek Michigan as the Battle Creek College. In 1901 the school moved to its current location in Berrien Springs and was renamed the Emmanuel Missionary College. In 1960 the school adopted its current name in honor of John Nevins Andrews, the first overseas missionary sent out by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. As a Seventh-day Adventist institution, Andrews University encourages strong moral principles of all its faculty and students. While committed to the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Andrews University nonetheless celebrates the diversity of faiths which are represented on its campus and respects students with differing opinions, beliefs, and out-workings of faith.
