Overview

Tabor College is a Mennonite Brethren college in Hillsboro, Kansas, serving a small residential community on the central Kansas plains with a faith-centered academic environment.

Academics

Business, education, and ministry are Tabor's most established programs, taught at a small scale with close faculty contact typical of a college this size; the Mennonite Brethren heritage informs a values-oriented approach across the curriculum.

Campus & student life

Athletics and choral music are notably prominent parts of campus life at Tabor, giving the small residential campus a visible identity beyond academics, set within the close, rural character of Hillsboro and the central Kansas plains.

Getting in

Admissions is holistic and not highly selective, with the college looking for students who will fit its faith-centered, small-campus community.

Worth knowing

The strength of choral music and athletics programs, relative to the college's small size, is a distinguishing feature worth knowing for a student weighing extracurricular fit alongside academics.
