Self-image
The college sees itself as a Mennonite college, but has been open to students of other denominations and religions since it was founded. The majority of the students now have a non-Mennonite background. Nevertheless, Anabaptist-Mennonite principles such as non-violence and honesty continue to play a role in the self-image of the university. As a Christian college, Bluffton University has been a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities since 1991 .
Bluffton University students are not supervised during exams. Instead, the students vouch with their honor that they have completed the exams independently.
