Educational Distinctives

The Moody Difference

Your Moody education begins in the Word. No matter what major you’re in, you’ll spend more time studying the Bible than any other book. Learn to pull truth from the page. Take your education beyond the walls of the classroom. Your intense academic study comes alive through strategic volunteer opportunities, as you make the leap from learning the Word to living it while you do ministry.

At Moody ministry and career is a single focus. We train men and women to make serving Christ their lifelong pursuit, no matter where He calls them. It's the marriage of higher learning and a higher calling.
