During the current 2024–2025 school year, Andrews University is celebrating its 150th anniversary, honoring the school’s start as Battle Creek College in 1874—the first institution of higher education to be established by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

During this sesquicentennial year of celebrations, Andrews University again celebrates a strong round of national university rankings, including significant improvement in this year’s 2025 U.S. News Best Colleges rating. 

The University’s formal census/enrollment reporting for fall semester (which is reported at the end of September each year, following a review of the initial fall semester census report from earlier in the month) shows growth in key areas, including an overall headcount enrollment of 3,021 registered on or through the Berrien Springs campus of the University, which is up 2% over the previous year. Included in those areas of enrollment growth is the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, which showed a nearly 7% increase in enrollment over the previous fall.
