Founded in 1923, McMurry University
has gained a national reputation for excellence and value through
the achievements of our faculty, students, and graduates. We are a
liberal arts university offering bachelor's degrees in the fine
arts, humanities, social and natural sciences, business, education,
and nursing. Steeped in our United Methodist tradition, our 1400
students are affected daily by our Core Values: Christian Faith as
the foundation of life, Personal Relationships as the catalyst for
life, Learning as the journey of life, Excellence as the goal of
life, and Service as the measure of life. We boast of an
outstanding faculty and staff whose goal is to maximize each
student's level of achievement and to expose them to those
qualities that go into making a successful life. We have been
recognized annually since 1996 by US News & World Report
for quality and value. You can also read about us in 100
Colleges Where Average Students Can Excel.
We are located on 40 acres in a
quiet residential section of Abilene, Texas, a city of 115,930.
Just as our university is large enough to offer excellent
opportunities while avoiding the impersonal experience of a large
school, Abilene is large enough to offer the amenities of a major
city while retaining the safety, convenience, and charm of a small
town. Recognized by Money Magazine as one of the top 100
safest places to live, Abilene has been an All-America City and a
consistent winner in USA Today's "Make a Difference Day".
Our monthly Art Walk in the restored downtown area is an exciting
cultural event that has been showcased on Good Morning
America as a model for downtown renewal. McMurry and Abilene
are within a comfortable drive of most major cities and attractions
of the Great State of Texas.
