Applying to Judson Learn about the application and admissions process. High School Students International Students Transfer Students Parents The community is so welcoming. Here [at Judson], I have been able to grow, not only as a student and an athlete, but I’ve been able to grow as a Christian. I’ve truly loved my time at Judson. I’ve gained lifelong friends and mentors. It’s brought me closer to God and strengthened my beliefs. Karli Allen Psychology ’20 One of the most rewarding moments in my life was attending Judson. The foundational principles the Department of Art & Design uses in nurturing its student’s professional calling, primed me for where I am today as an artist. I steadily developed under a robust learning curve that was rooted in problem solving, sustainability, and the symbiosis of faith and practice. A rare gem among today’s western academic education. As an immigrant, a student, and a mentee, the rich and vast diversity of the students, staff, and faculty, placed me in a new community I called home. A home away from home.” Conrad Egyir Studio Art ’15 My ability to navigate my current position certainly developed through my DCWPA education. My MB&E courses dropped me all over campus, allowing me to develop breadth in skills while simultaneously growing deeper in music through private lessons and choir. Additionally, the DCWPA’s emphasis on the arts as a full-bodied entity helps me in my job where I am constantly creating in many forms, including film, music, podcasting, writing, and more. I’m also using my music skills – composing and performing, leading worship with my husband at our church, and serving on the board of directors for a music nonprofit in the greater Chicago area.” JULIE (CANTRELL) BOETTCHER Music Business & Entrepreneurship ’18 I have found that Judson’s architecture program has several qualities that made my architectural schooling experience one-of-a-kind. The faculty-to-student ratio allowed for ample one-on-one time, and the professors are approachable and want each student to succeed. The architectural studio culture was valuable to my growth and learning as well. Alumni connections have helped several Judson students, including myself, find work post-graduation. I am now blessed to work alongside follow Judson alumni at a firm that offers Kingdom building services.” KATHRYN HUSAR B.A.Arch. ’13, M.Arch. ’15, Judson helped me to form a resilient framework for leadership that has survived the test of time through unprecedented change in economic, social, political, and community dynamics. Moreover, my time at Judson helped me to establish as my North Star for leadership in community, family, and profession, the timeless teachings of Christ and the intrinsic value he gives to every person.” Dan Shaver Management ’01 Financial Aid Over 99% of our students receive financial aid.
