Overview
Cornerstone University is a private evangelical Christian university in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a city with a notably dense network of Christian colleges. A statement of faith shapes both the curriculum and campus life at Cornerstone directly.
Academics
Business, ministry, education, and psychology are the university's core undergraduate programs, each carrying a practical, career-focused orientation. Bible and theology coursework is integrated into the general curriculum for all students, not confined to ministry majors specifically.
Campus & student life
The traditional undergraduate campus sits alongside substantial adult-degree and online divisions, which together make up a large share of the university's total enrollment; the residential undergraduate experience is smaller and more traditional than the university's overall size might suggest. Chapel and faith-based programming are regular parts of campus life.
Worth knowing
Grand Rapids has an unusually dense cluster of Christian colleges, and Cornerstone's evangelical statement-of-faith culture is more pronounced than some others in the same city, which is worth knowing when comparing options within the same metro area.
