'''Judson University''' is an [[evangelicalism|evangelical]] [[Christian]] [[liberal arts]] [[university]] located in [[Elgin, Illinois]]. It was founded in 1963. Judson was formed from the liberal arts component of [[Northern Baptist Theological Seminary]]. When the seminary moved from [[Chicago]] to [[Lombard, Illinois]], it was decided to separate the undergraduate college from the seminary. It was named after [[Adoniram Judson]], the first [[Southern Baptist Convention|American Baptist]] [[missionary]] to foreign shores. The university established a branch campus in [[Rockford, Illinois]]. Judson College became Judson University on August 28, 2007.
Judson University is the only private Christian university that has an accredited school of architecture in the United States. The largest building on its main campus is the Harm A. Weber Academic Center, which was funded by a $7.5 million federal earmark from Speaker [[Dennis Hastert]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/05/29/117853/-Inside-Hastert-Inc#|title=Inside Hastert, Inc|work=Chicago Tribune|date=May 29, 2005|accessdate=November 17, 2012}}</ref>
