What Students Are Saying
shorter university is an amazing school. the class sizes are small, and the professors are very dedicated to your success.
jasmine from tallahassee, fl
Shorter Unicersity provides a superb Christian atmosphere which I absolutely love. It is also the perfect size; not too big to where you would get lost, and not too small to where you are constantly meeting new people. At Shorter I feel like I am being challenged both academically and spiritually which will make me a stronger student as well as a stronger Christian.
Rachel from Rock Spring, GA
