History

Andrews University is located in Berrien Springs, Michigan, a small village in south west Michigan. The university itself is part of an education system that reaches around the world run by Seventh-day Adventists. Andrews University was originally founded in 1874 as Battle Creek College in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was the first higher education facility started by Seventh-day Adventists. In 1901 the school was moved to its current location in Berrien Springs along the St. Joseph River. As the story goes, everything the school had was packed up in 16 boxcars and sent on it's way. The school was renamed Emmanuel Missionary College (EMC). In 1959 the graduate program and theological seminary of Potomac University were relocated from Washington, D.C., and joined with EMC. Because of the addition of the graduate programs and the seminary the in 1960 the school was renamed Andrews University in honor of John Nevins Andrews, Adventist scholar and the first officially sponsored missionary for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The campus has grown over the years to include more than 3,000 students. It hasn't just been the student population that has grown. When the school moved to Berrien Springs in 1901 they had no buildings in which to hold classes. Things have changed since those days. The newest building on campus is the Howard Performing Arts Center. This facility is a venue for South West Michigan's performing arts. Musical talent from all around the world have already performed in this center since it's opening in 2003.
