Antarctic explorers. Fulbright scholars. Robot builders.

The faculty of Abilene Christian University is made up of hundreds of Christian scholars and professionals, each an expert in their respective field. But all excel, collectively, in one thing: a passionate devotion to students. 

It’s their calling to transform lives through learning. 

Our outstanding faculty members are researchers, writers and practitioners but, at ACU, they are teachers first; that means you won’t find graduate assistants at the head of the classroom here. 

Mentorship goes beyond lectures and lesson plans. Students and alumni tell us time and time again about the impact our faculty have made on their lives, how meaningful it was to see such devotion of time outside the classroom and office hours.
