PREPARING MEN AND WOMEN TO
Take the Whole Gospel to the Whole World
Alliance University, formerly known as Nyack College, is the nation’s most ethnically diverse Christian school in the history of higher education. Located in the heart of New York City – the epicenter for culture and innovation – AU prepares students to take the whole Gospel to the whole world. With a focus on integrating spiritual transformation with academic excellence, AU equips students to serve their communities – personally transformed, globally engaged, and socially relevant.

Our Values

- Globally Engaged
- Intentionally Diverse
- Personally Transforming
- Socially Relevant
Academic excellence at Alliance University is reflected in the success of its graduates. 85% of our alumni are employed or pursuing postgraduate study within one year. Enriched by a multicultural, metropolitan experience, our graduates are equipped and prepared to succeed in their chosen fields.
Our Mission, Vision & Values
Alliance University has led the charge in developing thousands of change-makers since 1882. The mission that prompted Dr. A.B. Simpson to establish a school in New York City more than a century ago still motivates us today. We are a community of learners and educators, united by our faith in Christ and dedicated to making a difference in the world.
Our Mission, Vision & Values
At Alliance University, being intentionally diverse is not only a part of our identity but critical to the effectiveness of our mission. We are represented by a broad spectrum of church affiliations, cultures, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds that make Alliance University the most ethnically diverse Christian university in the history of American higher education.
Our Mission, Vision & Values
Through an authentic, personal relationship with Christ, students are transformed from the inside out. We believe this kind of transformation is best accomplished in a community of like-minded believers, committed to Kingdom impact.
Our Mission, Vision & Values
Our students do more than take the message of Jesus Christ to those who have never heard it; they take the love of Jesus to those who have never known it. At Alliance University, we believe when the people of God take the provision of God to those in despair, both the presence of God and the power of God meet the needs of the desperate.
