Elmhurst University traces its history back to 1871, when the German Evangelical Synod of the Northwest founded the Elmhurst Proseminary to prepare young men for theological seminary and to train teachers for parochial schools. On July 1, 2020, the institution took the momentous step of officially changing its name to Elmhurst University. The university name more accurately reflects Elmhurst’s educational profile as a comprehensive higher education institution that offers programs in the liberal arts and applied sciences, while anticipating opportunities for new programs and partnerships. As the University prepares to celebrate its sesquicentennial in 2021, U.S. News & World Report ranks it among the top 20 regional colleges in the Midwest as well as the region’s best values. Offering more than 70 majors and 20 master’s degree and graduate certificate programs, Elmhurst is deeply committed to helping students define their values, explore the world and prepare to reach their full potential—in college and in the world beyond.
