Since its founding, the university has kept a connection with the Methodist (now United Methodist) Church to offer scholarships, leadership, and service to both the community and the Church.

The university has three objectives in its work with students: to impart knowledge, to develop important capabilities of students, and to integrate education in the context of values.

For graduate programs, the university has partnered with top universities across the country as part of the Regional Education Partners Scholarship program enabling students to pursue advanced degrees in management, IT, or public policy.
