The Schools of Richmont Graduate University
The history of Richmont Graduate University is one of God’s remarkable providence through faithful individuals who were, and are, committed to serving him. Richmont is called to serve God by reaching hurting people, and preparing individuals to serve in a variety of ways through excellence in scholarship and a strong foundation of faith in Christ. As we have traveled this journey so far, we have become more and more aware of the passage from 1 Corinthians 2:9:
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
- 1 Cor. 2:9 (NET)
In 1933, when Richmont’s history began, no one could have conceived of an internationally known graduate program in clinical mental health counseling. As this graduate program in mental health counseling became a reality, God began to broaden the vision of what Richmont could become in the future. The result of this expanded vision became the foundation for the schools of Richmont Graduate University. Richmont Graduate University is comprised of the School of Counseling and the School of Ministry. Trustees, faculty, staff, and students of Richmont Graduate University are committed to pursuing excellence in integrating faith and practice. Having seen the providence of God in Richmont’s history, we also are committed to remaining open to where he may lead us in the future.
