Statement of Core Institutional Values
Midland University is a liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America. We hold the following core values to be the foundation of
our identity as a community.
Faith - We believe as
a college of the Lutheran tradition that faith and learning are inexorably
linked. We believe that the exploration of faith and religion is an essential
human endeavor.

learning experience where excellence in all things is valued and expected by
all our constituents - our faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees and
