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 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 gain exposure to 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.
== Campus == Athletic events and daily chapel services are held in Tine Davis Gymasium. The university has added the Student Multiplex, which includes a weight room, racquetball courts, a running track, basketball/volleyball courts, a game room, and four new classrooms.
