What do you know about my business?

Eureka College was founded by abolitionists from Kentucky who were members of a religious movement known as the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and were committed to providing young people a broad, liberal education. These pioneers believed in an education infused with values as a basis for leadership. Chartered by the Illinois Legislature in 1855, Eureka was the first college in the state and third in the nation to admit men and women on an equal basis. Eureka College was designated by the National Park Service as a Campus Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places in June 2010.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS: PRE-MINISTRY

Professional ministry can take the form of hospital chaplaincy, social work, education, music and the arts – as well as traditional parish ministry. There is no single required course of studies for the pursuit of professional ministry. However, the College offers a Pre-Seminary Studies Track through the Philosophy and Religion major that is designed to help students discern their vocational direction in the ministry, as well as to provide students with an academic foundation for success in graduate seminary education. Please consult the Philosophy and Religion major for details.
