Undergraduates enjoy a diverse academic curriculum at McMurry University. Approximately 1,400 students attend this relatively small Christian liberal arts school in Abilene, where they can choose from 41 majors. McMurry’s education and business majors are popular, and the athletic training program is big with those enrolled in pre-professional studies. The threeweek May Term gives students an opportunity to delve into a single subject outside their major. Other options include the Servant Leadership Program, which explores ethics and teaches leadership principles. The Public History Program allows students to gain certification through hands-on experience at such nearby sites as Buffalo Gap Historic Village and the Twelfth Armored Division Memorial Museum. Undergraduates also pursue internships with businesses in Abilene, learning valuable skills at the Abilene Philharmonic and the Center for Contemporary Arts.

Freshmen and sophomores live on campus in refurbished residence halls. Student athletes compete at the NCAA Division III level, where McMurry’s women’s golf and men’s track teams often do very well. When McMurry students aren’t enjoying the campus’s many green spaces, such as the iris and sculpture gardens, they’re catching film retrospectives and the latest blockbuster at Abilene’s historic Paramount Theater, taking part in the city’s monthly Art Walk, or going on an excursion to one of the area’s nearby lakes.
