Manchester College to become University

The Board of Trustees of Manchester College voted on Saturday, April 21, 2012 to change the name of Manchester College to Manchester University, effective July 1, 2012. The change comes in the light of Manchester’s
  • Growing complexity, 
  • Second campus in Fort Wayne, 
  • Academic program that includes undergraduate programs, two master’s programs, 
  • Desire to increase our marketability with prospective undergraduate students. 
Manchester will continue to have
  • The same Mission, 
  • The same student-focused approach to undergraduate education 
  • A similar student-focused approach in our graduate and pharmacy programs, 
  • Programs and services to help students succeed academically, and 
  • Faculty-student learning opportunities that help students exceed even their own expectations. 
 I am reminded once again of Dag Hammarskjold’s words:
“For all that has been – THANKS!
For all that will be – YES!”
