Christian Distance Learning

Amridge University is an independent, coeducational institution dedicated to the spirit of its Christian ideals and heritage. Amridge University’s mission is to prepare men and women, through a commitment to academic excellence and spiritual vitality at the undergraduate and graduate levels, for a lifetime of learning, leadership, and service to the professions, society, church, and family.

In keeping with its Christian heritage, Amridge University provides educational opportunities through five schools: (1) College of Business and Leadership, (2) College of General Studies, (3) School of Human Services, (4) Turner School of Theology, and (5) School of Continuing Education. Each of these schools has its own special purpose within the overall purpose and institutional goals of the University.

All undergraduate degrees are offered fully online. Graduate and post-graduate degrees can be completed either fully or mostly online. Residency requirements apply within the Turner School of Theology and the Doctoral programs.

For many years, Amridge University was known as Southern Christian University. In August 2006 SCU changed its name to Regions University and then in January 2008 it changed again to Amridge University. None of the name changes have constituted changes in the university's nonprofit status, ownership, management, institutional mission, or program offerings.
