ACU is rich in traditions and celebrating them only draws us closer. Let other Texas universities have their own; Wildcat traditions run deep. From a cappella groups to candlelight devotionals and a hand signal that ties it all together, discover what brings ACU’s many friends and alumni back to campus year after year.

It’s all a testament to the incredible research opportunities available to first- and second-year students. Lean into your passion; discover the possibilities at ACU.

Bring Your Heart to Campus

World class academics combine with Christian principles to give students like Andrea a firm foundation on which to expand their faith from.

Beyond the Courts and Fields

Honors, Pre-Health and Pickleball

As a high-achieving student you will have many options at ACU. Aspen takes The College Tour from labs to world-recognized academic buildings and even to the pickleball court. Take your academics to the next level and build out your own purpose.

Find Your Own Compass

Experiential learning – or learning by doing – is an important part of an ACU education and is built into the curriculum for all our students. Joseph takes you behind the cameras and explores what that actually means. Be mentored and become the mentor. Build your own roadmap through Compass and other opportunities at ACU.
