At McPherson College we're different. We realize the way to foster individual growth is to encourage not just students but also faculty and staff to think differently. We encourage opportunities for creativity. We encourage taking risks because we understand there's no learning without "doing."
Our students receive grants to start viable businesses that are up and running before they graduate. They travel overseas providing service globally and create initiatives to bring capital into impoverished communities. Our studens' resumes rival those of seasoned entrepreneurs.
We're a small college doing big things by encouraging our students to apply an entrepreneurial mindset while being globally aware. McPherson gives students the Freedom to Jump.
