Defiance College is an independent, coeducational institution related to the United Church of Christ. Through personal caring attention within an ecumenical Christian environment that values people with different beliefs, our community of learners is dedicated to nurturing the whole person through development of the intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social and physical dimensions of self. We seek to inspire within our students a search for truth, a sensitivity to our world and the diverse cultures within it, the ability to lead in their chosen professions, and a spirit of service. We want them to know, to understand, to lead, and to serve.
