Our Commitment

ACU has long welcomed students from all states and 40 nations across the globe. In recent years, ACU also has achieved record levels of racial and ethnic diversity among its student population. The university’s Strategic Plan acknowledges the opportunity to develop an infrastructure that adequately supports such a highly diverse constituency. We welcome students who represent many diverse identities. We desire to develop an integrated and unified approach, demonstrating true commitment to racial and ethnic inclusion and cultural competence in order to help all students reach their full potential. We are committed to ensuring all students experience a sense of belonging and that faculty and staff are adequately equipped to understand and address all students’ needs. Our commitment reflects a challenge facing Christian higher education, which must not only acknowledge the past but prepare for a more diverse future.
