We are helping others to thrive.


Andrew university also operates a pre-kindergarten to high school program for local residents and a distance education program that has an international impact. We provide training to help instructors develop modern instructional techniques to improve teacher effectiveness and provide well trained certified teachers who provide meaningful instruction that fosters the development of engaged lifelong learners.  Our teaching learning and curriculum, social work, speech language pathology and other programs allow our students and faculty to collaborate with community stakeholders to develop sustainable programs that address community academic needs.
