About Sattler
Why Staff and Faculty Choose Sattler
At Sattler College, our commitment extends beyond providing an excellent education. We aim to foster an environment where staff and faculty can grow both professionally and spiritually. Here are some of the reasons why staff and faculty choose to be part of the Sattler community:
Why Students Choose Sattler College
Sattler College's mission is to provide an education that instructs the mind, discipleship that shapes the soul, and inspiration that inflames the heart. The modern higher education system rarely tends to the yearnings of the soul, nor inspires the passions of the heart. It fails to educate young people holistically for a life well lived. It is often hostile to faith, too expensive and academically weak. We need nothing short of a revolution. Sattler College was founded upon the biblical vision of Christian discipleship that addresses the mind, soul and heart. Our goal is to enable graduates to heartily say, "For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power, love and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).
Sattler College started offerings in Fall 2018 and was accredited Fall 2021. Sattler is a four-year Christian college granting bachelor's degrees in the following majors: biblical studies, business, computer science, history, and human biology. Students choose Sattler because they want to build their faith, while also taking the next steps toward fulfilling God's plan for their careers. Sattler students are exceptional. Many arrive at the college with significant cross-cultural experiences. Many have been leaders in their home communities and are eager to participate in thoughtful service in an urban environment.
