It is Faulkner University's mission to be a distinctively Christian university, where God’s Word is taught and respected, and where students are encouraged to grow in intellect, character and service. The university is now home to five colleges: the Alabama Christian College of Arts and Sciences, the Harris College of Business and Executive Education, the V.P. Black College of Biblical Studies, the College of Education, and the Thomas Goode Jones School of Law. A growing number of degree programs are also offered online, in addition to on-ground programs at our campuses. Faulkner University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, master and doctorate degrees. Faulkner University’s Thomas Goode Jones School of Law is fully approved by the American Bar Association (ABA). Graduates are eligible to sit for the bar exam in any state.
