Mid-Continent has reinforced the emphasis on leadership and service, expanded its majors and minors, and has fielded athletic teams for intercollegiate competition. All courses at the university are taught by faculty, not graduate assistants.

Students come from a variety of different states and countries. The interaction with people from different cultures and backgrounds has proved to be a valuable experience for our current students. Communication with students from twenty or more countries allows each individual the opportunity to develop a global culture that will benefit them in their workplaces and careers, and exposure to students from more than 15 states across the nation allows opportunity for networking and broad based relationships building that will prove beneficial for years to come.
