Taylor University is a private, interdenominational Christian university with campuses located in Upland, Indiana and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Taylor also operates Taylor University Fort Wayne, a 30-acre campus with over 1,040 students from 24 states and six countries. Taylor University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities and the Christian College Consortium. Bluffton College (Ohio) and Manchester College (Indiana) The purpose is to stengthen the Christian community and to maintain a sense of maturity and accountability. What is now Taylor University whose main campus is in Upland, Indiana began during 1846 as Fort Wayne Female College in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Fort Wayne Female College was founded by the Methodist Church as an all-female school. During 1855 Fort Wayne Female College started admitting men coeducationally and hence changed its name to Fort Wayne College. During 1890, Fort Wayne College acquired the former facilities of nearby Fort Wayne Medical College that were vacated after Fort Wayne Medical College’s merger with Indiana Asbury College, which is another Methodist-affiliated college. Upon completing this acquisition, Fort Wayne College changed its name to Taylor University, in honor of Bishop William Taylor. This explains the otherwise mysterious origin of the name College Street for a street in Fort Wayne that has no apparent modern relation to a college, as this was the location of Fort Wayne Female College, Fort Wayne College, and the 19th-century presence in Fort Wayne of Taylor University, which relocated in 1893. In order to serve the increasing population of central Indiana between Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, Taylor University moved to their 250-acre campus in Upland, Indiana in 1893. To re-establish its presence in Fort Wayne after a 99-year hiatus, Taylor University acquired Summit Christian College during 1992. Summit Christian College was previously named Fort Wayne Bible College from 1950 to 1989 and Fort Wayne Bible Institute from its establishment in 1904 to 1989. Taylor University Fort Wayne (TUFW) became an extension campus of Taylor University in 1992. On April 26, 2006, Taylor University received national attention when a University Van was involved in a fatal crash while traveling between the Fort Wayne and Upland campuses.
