Defiance College

The common threads that run through today’s Defiance College – academics based in the liberal arts, preparation for successful careers, a sensitivity to the world and its diverse cultures, and a commitment to service – all have more than a century of tradition. Creation of programs such as the McMaster School for Advancing Humanity, Hench Autism Studies Program, and Project 701 enable students to reap the benefits of life-changing, real-world experiences through international and domestic travel and undergraduate research. In 1902, the Christian Church assumed leadership of the college and changed its name to Defiance College. The next two decades were years of significant growth of the campus and student body. Classes available on campus as well as online. Financial aid available to those who qualify.
