Graceland University was founded in 1895 and is sponsored by the Community of Christ. We are dedicated to providing all students an education grounded in the core values of caring and concern. As we expand our programs and locations to help meet the needs of today’s (and tomorrow’s) students, we continue to focus on bringing out the full potential of each and every student who walks through our doors. Students who come to Graceland often tell us it was the best decision they ever made.
