At Patrick Henry College, the bedrock of the academic program is its commitment to the classical liberal arts. Patrick Henry College has an extensive classical core curriculum of 63 credits founded on the great texts and ideas that have stood the test of time, starting with the Holy Scriptures. At Patrick Henry College, we recognize that the preservation of liberty requires that our leaders believe that the unalienable rights of man stem from a transcendent Creator, independent of the whims of man. Unfortunately, many of our leaders no longer hold this truth to be self-evident. The nation’s top-tier colleges and universities are no longer producing godly leaders capable of preserving American liberty. Ivy League colleges have shifted since the late 18th Century; abandoning the notion that the pursuit of knowledge must start with a biblical worldview. Patrick Henry College was founded in response to this void in higher education. Patrick Henry College was founded in 2000 with a vision to restore America by educating the best and brightest Christian students to take their place as future leaders of the nation and its culture.
