About TU

Since its founding in 1846, Taylor University has dedicated itself to blending rigorous academics with a strong Christian faith. As the oldest nondenominational institution in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), we have proudly cultivated a community that values intellectual growth and spiritual development.

With a predominantly residential student body of around 2,200, Taylor University fosters a rich educational environment emphasizing personal connections and a supportive atmosphere. Taylor has been recognized as a top Midwest College for nearly three decades by U.S. News & World Report. Among our peer institutions, we celebrate one of the highest graduation rates in the nation. Impressively, 98% of our graduates find employment or continue their education within six months of graduation. As they seek to build their lives in Indiana, across the United States, and around the world, Taylor graduates are noted in their efforts to serve others, work with excellence, and invest in their communities. 

We are glad to call Upland our home. As we look toward the future, we are excited about the growth of our community and the ongoing partnership between Taylor University and the Town of Upland.
