Mission Statement

Introduction to Malone
Malone College has grown from the dreams and labors of an energetic Friends couple, Walter and Emma Malone. Before the turn of the century, their concern for the education of Christian young people led them to begin the Cleveland Bible College. In 1957, the College moved to Canton and was renamed Malone College to honor its founders.

The location and the buildings were not the only things that changed. The curriculum also changed and Malone became a Christian liberal arts college, an institution emphasizing communicative, investigative and interpretive skills in developing the whole person physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

This Christian liberal arts approach, the very essence of Malone, is widely recognized today as producing exceptional graduates, not only for the marketplace, but for all aspects of life. Malone's commitment to this approach has led to a vibrant balance between faith and learning at the college.

The Mission Statement of Malone College
Malone College is a Christian college for the arts, sciences, and professions in the liberal arts tradition, affiliated with the Evangelical Friends Church.
 
The mission of Malone College is to provide students with an education based on biblical faith in order to develop men and women in intellectual maturity, wisdom, and Christian faith who are committed to serving the church, community, and world.
 
Statement of Purpose
All graduate programs derive their purposes and responsibilities from the Mission Statement of Malone College. Accordingly, a salient purpose for the graduate programs is to provide students with a quality educational experience in a Christian college environment. Specifically, the purposes of the graduate programs are to: 
1. Combine faith and learning from a biblical perspective that leads to an understanding of a reasoned Christian worldview and an applied Christian ethic;
