School Description

Provided by Faulkner University

Faulkner University’s distinctive combination of academics, spirituality, and Christian community set it apart from most schools of higher education. This university is about real success, your success—the glorification of God through the education of the individual.

Guided by a commitment to Biblical truth, blessed with exciting, effective programs, and driven by the need to serve, Faulkner students are blessed not only with the education to know and serve God better, but to love His children better.

The misson of Faulkner University is to glorifiy God through education of the whole person, emphasizing integrity of character in a caring Christian environment where every individual matters every day.

Faulkner University’s facilities have grown from just a handful of buildings in 1965, to the fine campus you are about to tour.

As you enter the campus you will note the three front buildings, the Jones School of Law building on your right, the Harris College of Business Building directly in front of you, and the Harris-Parker Building. The Harris-Parker Building, the home of the V.P. Black College of Biblical Studies is the newest building. Plans are being made for further growth on the campus, including expansion to the Gus Nichols Library.

The facilities of Faulkner University are bringing praise from civic leaders and others who have observed the growth of the University over the years.

Faulkner University

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Faulkner University is a private Christian university, located in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, and affiliated with the Church of Christ. The University was founded in 1942 as Montgomery Bible School. In 1953 the school's name was changed to Alabama Christian College (ACC). In 1965, the college was moved to its present location on Atlanta Highway. 1975 marked the beginning of the school's satellite campuses in Mobile, Huntsville and Birmingham. In 1985, the school was renamed to Faulkner University in honor of Dr. James H. Faulkner, Sr., a longtime supporter and chairman of the board.

== Academic Programs and Facilities == The M. B. Myers Fine Arts Center houses the music and theater departments, as well as the Great Books Honors College. It was constructed in 1977 as a student center but was later converted to the current Fine Arts Center in 1982.

Education classes are held in Leonard Johnson Hall, which includes a curriculum lab, an education center and an education department. Criminal Justice classes are held in the Joe Greer Hall.

The Great Books Honors College serves Faulkner's brightest students with 5 core classes grounded in the Great Books. Students expose authors from Homer to Aquinas to Nietzsche, and the classes are discussion based.

The Linda Brooks Hall houses biology, chemistry and physics labs, along with a greenhouse. There is also an Instructional Support Lab which provides tutorial assistance with students struggling academically.

The Thomas Goode Jones School of Law contains seven classrooms, a mock courtroom, and three seminar rooms. The law school was granted American Bar Association provisional accreditation on June 10, 2006. Graduates of the Law School now have the same rights and privileges as graduates of fully approved ABA accredited Law Schools. Furthermore, graduates may sit for the bar exam in all 50 states.
