Faulkner University is a private Christian institution located in Montgomery, Alabama's capital city. The university, founded in 1942 as Montgomery Bible College, operates from a suburban campus spanning 74 acres in the eastern section of Montgomery. The institution maintains its religious affiliation with the Churches of Christ and offers undergraduate and graduate programs across five academic colleges, with notable strengths in biblical studies, business, education, and law through its Thomas Goode Jones School of Law. Students typically reside in one of four on-campus residence halls, and the university competes in the NAIA's Southern States Athletic Conference, fielding teams known as the Eagles. The campus features a mix of modern and traditional buildings, including the Harris College of Business and Executive Education Center and the Brooks Hall performing arts complex.

Faulkner University is designated as a Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) and receives federal grants supporting the school's efforts to serve low and middle-income Black Americans.
