It's About Intentional Connections

Discovering who you are - that's what university is all about. And we believe faith should be the foundation for that process. At Shorter, you'll find an academically challenging environment where you can also discover God's plan for your life. Believe in it, be true to it, and you will become everything you're meant to be.

Shorter's academic programs emphasize learning both in and out of the classroom, with small class sizes, unique courses, internships, and study abroad programs that help you make the most of your time in university. We offer opportunities for collaborative relationships with faculty members who are experts in their fields and who strive to integrate spirituality and academics, encouraging you to apply your faith to everything you do.
