Mission Statement

We are committed to the ideals of a liberal education and to the highest level of intellectual excellence.

Our distinguished faculty are dedicated to teaching, scholarship, and outreach. We teach our students to think creatively, critically, and independently; to communicate effectively; and to adapt to change. Furthermore, we foster a community in which students, faculty, and administration have an understanding of the human condition, a respect for individual and cultural differences, and a desire for the free exchange of ideas.

We emphasize integrity, inquiry, and civility for the sake of educated thoughtful citizenship.
