Taylor University, ranked number one Baccalaureate College in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report, prides itself on the excellent education it offers, the spiritual growth it fosters, and the purposeful community it inspires. This is the tradition of Taylor since 1846, and the university’s rich history shows it. It’s what sets Taylor apart.

The year 2009 marks the 163rd anniversary of the founding of Taylor University in 1846. Forged in the fire of intense religious beliefs, Taylor University was destined to become one of the oldest evangelical Christian colleges in America. Conceptualized with the conviction that women as well as men should have an opportunity for higher education, Taylor University began as Fort Wayne Female College in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and then became Fort Wayne College.
