EVEN THOUGH MORE THAN HALF OF OUR CURRENT STUDENTS WERE REFERRED BY ALUMNI, COACHES, FACULTY, PASTORS AND CURRENT STUDENTS, THE REST HAD NEVER HEARD OF US. STERLING COLLEGE WASN’T A PART OF THEIR PLANS. BUT THAT ALL CHANGED THE DAY THEY STEPPED ONTO CAMPUS.
WELCOME
STERLING COLLEGE STUDENTS AND FACULTY ARE DEDICATED TO LEARNING, SERVING AND GROWING TOGETHER. THIS CREATES A CLOSE-KNIT, FAMILY VIBE THAT YOU CAN FEEL ALL OVER CAMPUS. BY THE TIME YOU GRADUATE, YOU’LL LEAVE WITH MORE THAN JUST A DEGREE. YOU’LL LEAVE WITH EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES AND RELATIONSHIPS YOU’LL REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
