Malone University is a private Christian university in Canton, Ohio, United States. It was founded in 1892 by Walter and Emma Malone as a small, co-educational Bible institute called Cleveland Bible College.[4] The institution has always maintained a close relationship with an evangelical branch of Quakerism — the Evangelical Friends Church - Eastern Region.

Malone University holds an affiliation with the Evangelical Friends Church - Eastern Region, a North American yearly meeting of the Evangelical Friends Church International. Despite the university's enduring identification with this evangelical Quaker group, the community reflects diverse religious backgrounds, with nearly 50 denominations of Christianity and several non-Christian faith practices represented. Though all employees, staff, and faculty of the university are required to sign a statement of faith, Malone students are not required to profess any religious persuasion.

In addition to Malone University's traditional undergraduate college, the school also maintains a graduate school[5] offering master's degrees in a wide field of professional studies, an online school[6] with a variety of bachelor's programs, and degree completion programs[7] in management and nursing. The graduate school also has a post-degree professional development center[8] that offers workshops and certificates.
