Goshen College, a private Mennonite liberal arts institution founded in 1894, is located in Goshen, Indiana, approximately 120 miles east of Chicago. The 135-acre main campus combines historic and modern buildings set in a residential area, with an additional 1,150-acre environmental research center at Merry Lea. Known for its emphasis on international education and sustainability, Goshen requires all students to complete a Study-Service Term abroad, typically in countries such as Peru, Senegal, or Indonesia. The college maintains small class sizes and offers notable programs in nursing, environmental science, music, and peace, justice & conflict studies, reflecting its Anabaptist values. Most students live on campus in traditional residence halls or small-group housing, and the college competes in the NAIA's Crossroads League as the Maple Leafs.
