Home to more than 5,100 students from 42 nations, ACU is in the top 10 percent of U.S. institutions, according to Forbes magazine’s “America’s Best Colleges” list. Abilene Christian is a leader in experiential learning and one of the largest private universities in the Southwest.

Most ACU students volunteer regularly for community service, and enjoy the benefits of a vibrant internship program that gives them a valuable edge in the marketplace.

Popular ACU annual events include Sing Song and FilmFest, featuring student-produced work judged by Emmy-, CMT-, and MTV-award winners. The university’s 250-acre main campus is less than three hours from the DFW Metroplex, where ACU Dallas offers online graduate and professional degrees.
