The "About Us" rhetoric references the college's Methodist tradition, but does not include Christian-specific language. "Adrian College, a liberal college in the United Methodist tradition, is committed to the pursuit of truth and dignity of all people."; "Through active and creative learning in a supportive community, undergraduate and graduate students are challenged to achieve excellence in their academic, personal, and professional lives, and to contribute to a more socially just society."
