OH 44601 Mount Union College offers a liberal arts education grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Affiliated with the United Methodist Church, the college affirms the importance of reason, open inquiry, living faith, and individual worth. Mount Union's mission is to prepare students for meaningful work, fulfilling lives, and responsible citizenship. One of the ways the college helps develop moral reasoning skills is through a required freshman course in which students are introduced to a variety of skills such as moral reasoning, critical thinking, and group decision making.
Instructors work in small groups and pose thought-provoking questions for discussion.
Residence hall programming also plays a major role in shaping the individual. Since our campus is primarily residential, education from peers is vital. Our resident directors and resident assistants lead discussions on current issues featuring role-playing exercises for the entire campus. These activities result in interesting discussions in the classroom and beyond. Five years ago we appointed our first full-time chaplain, a move that has reaped many rewards.
