Sterling College - Sterling School Description

Sterling College is a Christ-centered, four-year college located in Sterling, Kansas, with a mission "to develop creative and thoughtful leaders who understand a maturing Christian faith.

Founded in 1887 (as Cooper College) by the Presbyterian Church, the College embraces an emerging vision to serve God's world through servant-leadership training, the nation's first undergraduate program in Social Entrepreneurship and the development of future leaders through strategic partnerships with Habitat for Humanity International.

At Sterling College quality is found in community and servant leadership. The Sterling community challenges students to rethink what college is about. Pursuing academic excellence is a priority as well as developing a thriving community of "doers" - students who really want to get involved whether on the football field, the performance stage, or in the mission fields in places like Africa, China and the Middle East. Sterling students help make a difference in the world. Sterling students come to live a leader's life, grow to understand a servant's heart: and learn to change the world.

During the fall of 2008 there was a total enrollment of 652 students, with students from 28 states and 7 countries.
