“When Judson College closed at the end of my daughter’s freshman year, she transferred to UM and it has been the most fantastic 3 years for her. She graduates in May 2024 with the degree she has dreamed about since God placed her on a path. She already has a job path lining up perfectly. Definitely check into UM!” - Parent Testimonial, posted on UM social media
