Patrick Henry College

Patrick Henry College

At Patrick Henry College, students receive a broad-based baccalaureate education that stresses content, the imitation of excellence, the pursuit of knowledge, and the exercise of the whole range of talents that God has given, in the light of the truth that He has revealed in the inerrant Bible.

The Patrick Henry College 63-credit core curriculum plus foreign language proficiency--consisting of courses in logic, rhetoric, philosophy, mathematics, geometry, music, science, history, literature, theology, apologetics, economics, foreign languages, constitutional law, and political theory--lays a common foundation for advanced learning in each of five major programs. Within the context of the classical liberal arts as a time-tested framework, Patrick Henry courses mirror the trivium's emphasis on knowledge (grammar), understanding (logic), and application (rhetoric).

A Patrick Henry College student culminates his degree with an apprenticeship that applies the "rhetoric"​ of creative performance in the field of study. Regardless of major, students are invited to explore the interconnectedness of all the disciplines, reflecting the truth that in Christ "all things hold together"​ (Colossians 1:17).

Patrick Henry College is accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges & Schools and is certified to operate by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.
