Patten is a private, coeducational, interdenominational Christian University dedicated to providing a Liberal Arts education with a strong biblical studies emphasis. Patten University is committed in all of its policies and practices to upholding the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the authority of the Bible as the revealed Word of God, and the high moral standards found in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Our mission is to provide an excellent education for motivated and committed students from a broad diversity of ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The University seeks to maintain a welcoming and supportive community where students are encouraged and equipped to find and develop their unique talents and spiritual gifts.

To achieve its purposes, the University seeks to offer students a coherent and integrated education so that they will become aware of the traditions and cultures that have shaped societies, develop and expand their abilities to think critically and independently, and come to understand their own place and role in the larger world community. The University endeavors to inspire students to commit themselves to God, serve their communities, and live as morally responsible individuals in whatever vocation or profession they choose to pursue.
