But WHY is Ambassador College? How is it different? It
was founded with serious and significant purpose -- to provide what
was tragically lacking in the field of higher education. Education
today is in the grip of an acute crisis. Moral standards have
toppled. Authority is flouted. Demonstrations, rioting and
violence are rampant. Student suicides and premarital pregnancies
are escalating to alarming levels.
This crisis is the climax of a dangerous drift of education
into materialism. Many prominent educators have recognized the
trend. But, caught in the clutch of an established trend, they
have been helpless to reverse it.
Ambassador College came on the world scene in 1947, free
from the shackles of tradition. Ours was the great privilege to
recapture the true values -- to supply what was lacking, while
retaining all that has proved sound and good in educational
experience. There has been developing here at Ambassador a new
dimension in education. Here emphasis is NOT on intellect alone,
but on character development, on learning the true values, on
knowing the PURPOSE of life -- on learning HOW TO LIVE, not merely
how to earn a living. Results, after twenty-one years, have been
astonishing. These results are written in the radiating faces of
Ambassador students and graduates -- and in their successful lives.
We invite you to visit an Ambassador campus, enjoy its cultural
atmosphere of tone and character, see the refreshing difference so
obvious in its happy students. There are no hippies, no
long-haired "girlish" men, no mini-skirts, no cigarette smoking.
But the students will give you a warm greeting -- they radiate.
As a result, approximately 50% of our students come to us
from other universities, many holding degrees. They have come to
Ambassador from such famous institutions as Oxford, Cambridge,
London; from Sydney and Melbourne universities; from Harvard, Yale,
Columbia, New York U., the U. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Carnegie
Tech., every one of the "Big Ten" universities, every one of the
major west coast universities, most other mid-west state
universities, and the major universities of Texas and the southern
states.
Incredible? Yes, seemingly, but true. They start as
undergraduate freshmen at Ambassador. They come to obtain what is
not offered at any other school.
CAN ANYONE ENTER? Ambassador maintains the same entrance
requirements most high-level universities. Admissions are not
restricted to any one group, race, religion or nationality.
Admissions are based on individual qualifications. But, we are
able to admit only one out of six or seven who apply.
HOW ABOUT ENDOWMENT, FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY? In a
manner unique in college or university operations, Ambassador is
adequately endowed. It is recognized in financial circles as being
in a position of unquestioned financial integrity and ability.
Its activities expand far beyond those of the three local
