Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

==History==

=== 1874–1901: Battle Creek College ===
Andrews University was founded as a small Seventh-day Adventist school called Battle Creek College in 1874 named for the nearby city of [[Battle Creek, Michigan]].<ref name="battlecreekcollegenamechangesource">((cite web |title=Our history |url=https://www.andrews.edu/aa/about/history.html |website=Andrews Academy |publisher=Andrews University |access-date=20 November 2019))</ref>

=== 1901–1959: Emmanuel Missionary College ===
In 1901, the school moved from [[Battle Creek, Michigan]] to its current location in Berrien Springs.<ref name="Herald 1901, p.8">Review and Herald, July 30, 1901, p.8</ref> It is said that everything the school had was packed up in 16 boxcars and sent on its way. The school was renamed "Emmanuel Missionary College",<ref name="Herald 1901, p.8"/> or EMC for short.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.andrews.edu/about/history.html |title=University History :: Andrews University |access-date=2007-01-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070202064901/http://www.andrews.edu/about/history.html |archive-date=2007-02-02 ))</ref>
as "the first school among us having a distinctive Biblical name".<ref name="Herald 1901, p.8"/>

After this SDA college that had been known as Battle Creek College moved to Berrien Springs, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg opened a new Battle Creek College in Battle Creek under his presidency in 1923, by bringing together the existing Training School for Nurses, the School of Home Economics, and the School of Physical Education.  This Battle Creek College operated until 1938.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20050227030606/http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem%2Flhbum%3A%40field%28DOCID+%40lit%28lhbum1995bdiv257%29%29 Medical history of Michigan: Volume II, Battle Creek Sanitarium And Hospital School For Nurses, Battle Creek, 1883] especially p. 658 para. 4</ref>

Emmanuel Missionary College continued to grow slowly through the early 20th century. In the 1940s, Nethery Hall, the current location of the College of Arts and Sciences, was built as the administration building. Its construction marked the culmination of an aggressive building program.<ref>1942 Year Book of the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination, p. 209</ref><ref>Lake Union Herald, April 21, 1942, p. 16</ref>

==== SDA Theological Seminary ====

In the 1930s Seventh-day Adventist leaders established a Theological Seminary. At first, it was located on the campus of [[Pacific Union College]] in the [[Napa Valley, California]]. Later it was moved to Washington, D.C., and located near the denominational headquarters.((Citation needed|date=November 2019))

=== 1959–1974: Andrews University ===

The following events culminated in relocating the graduate program and theological seminary of [[Potomac University]] from [[Washington, D.C.]], and joining with the school in Berrien Springs in 1959.((Citation needed|date=November 2019))

==== Potomac University ====

In 1956, denominational leaders decided to organize a university in order to train elementary and secondary teachers in an Adventist school rather than send them to an unaffiliated university which did not promote a denominational perspective."<ref name="Graduate School 1956, p. 709">"Graduate School." Autumn Council General Conference Committee Minutes, October 28, 1956, p. 709</ref>

In 1956 a charter was granted. The new school was named Potomac University. Earlier, Ellen White, cofounder of the Adventist Church, had advised that Adventist schools locate in rural settings. Church leaders looked for a suitable rural location where the new university could be near to, and in affiliation with, Washington Missionary College, now [[Washington Adventist University]]. Over a period of two years effort was put forth to find such a location. Finally the idea was abandoned. Too much expense was involved in making such a move.<ref name="Jere D. Smith 1958, p.1">Berrien Springs to be Home of S.D.A. University by Jere D. Smith, President of the SDA Lake Union Conference. Lake Union Herald, November 11, 1958, p.1</ref>

At the 1958 Autumn Council, held in Washington, the board of Emmanuel Missionary College invited the General Conference to locate Potomac University on its campus. After careful deliberation, the council voted unanimously to accept the offer and move the institution to the EMC campus.<ref name="Jere D. Smith 1958, p.1"/>

Arrangements similar to those envisioned for Washington Missionary College were made with EMC. Emmanuel Missionary College did not lose its identity. It remained the college for the youth of the Lake Union Conference, but was affiliated with the new Seventh-day Adventist university.<ref name="Jere D. Smith 1958, p.1"/>

In 1959, H. L. Rudy, a vice-president for the SDA General Conference, described the relationship of the new graduate university with Emmanuel Missionary College: 
::Potomac University (a new name is under study) has been founded to meet the graduate needs of students, teachers, ministers, and^ other workers of the church. As a "university-type General Conference institution" it draws students from the entire world field. The undergraduate school—Emmanuel Missionary College—will continue to recruit its students from its own territory, but the Seminary and the School of Graduate Studies may recruit students from the entire world field.<ref>Potomac University, Our Denominational Graduate School, By H. L Rudy, Vice-President of the SDA General Conference, British Advent Messenger, July 10, 1959, p.4</ref>

==== Renamed Andrews University ====

Because of the addition of the graduate programs and the seminary in 1960, the school was renamed "Andrews University" in honor of [[John Nevins Andrews]], an Adventist scholar and the first officially sponsored overseas missionary for the Seventh-day Adventist Church.<ref>((cite web |last1=Kaiser |first1=Denis |title=Origins of Andrews University |url=https://www.lakeunionherald.org/archive/articles/origins-of-andrews-university |website=Lake Union Herald |date=28 September 2022 |access-date=17 April 2023))</ref>

On April 18, 1957, the Minutes of the General Conference Committee report gave the conclusion that " the name of the graduate school be Adventist University"<ref>Name Of Graduate School: General Conference Committee Minutes for April 18, 1957, p. 866 .</ref> Three years later, the April 5, 1960, Minutes of the General Conference Committee's Spring Meeting recommended that it be Andrews University, saying "This name was chosen because it honors our first missionary, a scholarly, dedicated man, J. N, Andrews, and is a name that has a very strong Adventist appeal.<ref>NAME: Eastern University. General Conference Committee Minutes for April 5, 1960, p. 564 .</ref>
 
Six months later, for the October 26 meeting of the Autumn Council decided that "the West Coast University be named Loma Linda University." 
<ref>NAME: West Coast University--NAME: General Conference Committee Minutes for the Autumn Council, October 26, 1960, p. 702.</ref>

These minutes reveal a growing awareness among church leaders that the Seventh-day Adventist Church had two, rather than just one, developing universities; one in the East and one on the West Coast.((Citation needed|date=November 2019))

Today the seminary is known as the [[Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary]].<ref>((cite web |title=Institutions and Organizations |url=https://gc.adventist.org/about-us/institutions-organizations/#4-strong-andrews-university-strong |website=General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists |access-date=17 April 2023))</ref>

A marker designating the college as a [[List of Michigan State Historic Sites|Michigan Historic Site]] was erected by the [[Michigan State Historic Preservation Office|Michigan Historical Commission]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=64917 |title=Michigan Historical Markers - Andrews University |website=www.hmdb.org |publisher=Historical Marker Data Base |access-date=August 4, 2022))</ref> The inscription reads:

<blockquote>This, the oldest Seventh-day Adventist college and the pioneer in a world-wide system of Christian education, was chartered in 1874 at Battle Creek as Battle Creek College. It was moved to Berrien Springs in 1901 where its name was changed to Emmanuel Missionary College. The first classes here were held in tents. The old Berrien County Courthouse served as an administration building. Permanent buildings were erected by student labor. In 1960 the Adventists' Theological Seminary, founded in 1934, and the Graduate School (1957), were moved here from Washington, D.C., to join Emmanuel Missionary College under one charter as Andrews University. The name honors a pioneer Adventist author, administrator, and missionary, John Nevins Andrews.</blockquote>

=== 1974–present ===
In 1974, the undergraduate division of Andrews was organized into two colleges—the College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Technology. The School of Business Administration, which evolved from the Department of Business Administration, was established in 1980. In a similar move, the Department of Education became the School of Education in 1983. In 1993, the Department of Architecture became the Division of Architecture, and is now the School of Architecture, Art & Design. At the same time existing and new programs in technology were restructured and a new School of Health Professions was opened in 2012.

The present organizational structure of the School of Graduate Studies was adopted in 1987. Now the School of Graduate Studies & Research, it oversees graduate programs and research activities campus-wide.

Griggs University joined Andrews in 2011 to become the School of Distance Education. It extends access to Adventist education beyond campus, community and national boundaries. It supports all schools in delivery of degrees at national and international locations, while also promoting and modeling best practices in distance education.

On Thursday, April 11, 2007, President Niels-Erik Andreasen announced at a special chapel assembly that the university had just received a gift totaling $8.5 million. The anonymous donors requested the money be spent on the following: Construction of the new entrance on Old US 31 (officially opened on June 2, 2008, and named J. N. Andrews Blvd.), Two endowed chairs: one for the Marketing Department in the School of Business Administration and the second in the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary's Christian Ministry Department, Construction of a milking parlor for the Andrews Dairy, Refurbish the kitchen and dining facilities in the Campus Center, and Support for the educational program of the Aeronautics Department.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.andrews.edu/news/2007/4/gift.html |title=Gift :: Andrews University |website=Andrews.edu |date=2007-04-12 |access-date=2016-08-08))</ref>

==Campus==
[[File:Andrews University.jpg|300px|thumb|Aerial view of Andrews University, 2006]]
Andrews University is located in the Village of [[Berrien Springs, Michigan|Berrien Springs]] in southwest Michigan. The campus is adjacent to the [[St. Joseph River (Lake Michigan)|St. Joseph River]] and ((convert|12|mi|km)) away from the shores of [[Lake Michigan]]. [[South Bend, Indiana]], home of the [[University of Notre Dame]], is ((convert|25|mi|km)) away; thus, some Andrews faculty members hold joint appointments with Notre Dame.((Citation needed|date=July 2018))

The ((convert|1600|acre|km2|adj=on)) campus is officially designated as an [[arboretum]]. The campus maintains a variety of indigenous trees, especially around the [[Quadrangle (architecture)|quad]] in the center of the campus. The campus is composed of 27 instructional buildings, the [[Howard Performing Arts Center]], an airpark, four single-sex [[residence hall]]s and four apartment complexes.

The four dormitories on campus are Lamson Hall, the undergraduate women's hall, Damazo Hall, the graduate women's hall,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/2011/05/17/female-graduate-housing-a |title=Agenda :: Andrews University |access-date=2011-07-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320095901/http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/2011/05/17/female-graduate-housing-a |archive-date=2012-03-20 ))</ref> Meier Hall, the undergraduate men's hall, and Burman Hall, primarily for men who are either graduate or seminary students.

===Public art===
Artworks on the campus include ''Corten Steel Sculpture'', ''[[Legacy of Leadership]]'', and ''[[Regeneration (sculpture)|Regeneration]]''.

''Corten Steel Sculpture'' (1966–1967) was designed by [[Timothy Malone]] while he was a graduate student and part-time instructor at the [[University of Notre Dame]]. The [[Weathering steel|Corten steel]] sculpture weighs ((Convert|1300|lbs|kg)) and bears the Andrews University motto and the text "Corpus, Mens, Spiritus" on one side; the opposite side displays an imperfect circle that represents the globe and two curved meridian lines. It was supposed to be installed in December 1966, but was postponed until April 1967 due to Malone's illness and an "imbalance" in the sculpture.<ref name=Andrews>((cite web|title=Campus Sculptures|url=https://www.andrews.edu/features/sculptures.html|publisher=Andrews University|access-date=June 15, 2015))</ref><ref name=Discover>((cite web|title=Discover Art Sculptures on Campus|url=http://www.andrews.edu/news/2012/07/campus_sculptures.html|publisher=Andrews University|access-date=June 15, 2015|date=July 10, 2012))</ref>

The university's freshmen retention rate is 83.9% while the graduation rate is 53.3%.<ref name="Census"/>

===College of Health & Human Services===
The College of Health & Human Services was organized in 2019. The change incorporated the previously named School of Health Professions, which included all of the health-related sciences. The college currently includes the School of Architecture and Interior Design, the School of Communication Sciences & Disorders, the School of Nursing, the School fo Population Health, Nutrition & Wellness, the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, and the Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences. Emmanuel Rudatsikira was appointed the first dean of the College of Health & Human Services, and is currently still serving in this role.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.andrews.edu/chhs/faculty/index.html|title=Faculty & Staff :: Andrews University|website=www.andrews.edu|language=en|access-date=2020-04-25))</ref>((Citation needed|date=November 2019))

====School of Architecture & Interior Design====
The School of Architecture began as a simple [[architecture]] program in 1974, offering an associate degree. The program received full accreditation as a bachelors program in 1987. In 2002 the program was approved to offer a ((frac|5|1|2))-year [[National Architectural Accrediting Board]] (NAAB)-accredited masters of architecture. On October 29, 2007, the Board of Trustees voted the Division of Architecture to be reclassified as the School of Architecture. In January 2012, the School of Architecture was merged with the Department of Art & Design to form the School of Architecture, Art & Design. As a result, two new majors were introduced in the architecture program: Interior Design and Construction Management. In 2016 departments were again reorganized, with the art and design portions of the school leaving the School of Architecture and joining the Department of Communication, creating the School of Architecture & Interior Design and the Department of Visual Art, Communication & Design.
