Cornerstone University graduates will be among the most skilled and most trusted across every vocation and industry. It’s our CU Promise.

The Cornerstone Advantage™ is how we prepare students to fulfill that promise. Across five distinct domains, students develop the professional expertise, practical experience, leadership abilities and Biblical wisdom to solve problems, create solutions and lead with Christ-centered influence.

We stand behind that preparation. Graduates have access to employment services for up to one year after graduation. And once you are employed, if you or your employer identifies a need for greater proficiency in any of the five Cornerstone Advantage™️ domains, Cornerstone will provide opportunities to strengthen those skills through career resources, industry partners or specified online training.

Prepare to become a market-ready leader who exceeds the expectations of employers. This is the Cornerstone Advantage.
