We provide students with a deeply transformative undergraduate education - intellectually, spiritually, and socially - and have for almost 150 years. We've nurtured business leaders and spiritual leaders, novelists and scientists, physicians and public servants, and scholars and teachers in nearly every field of endeavor.

With strong ties to the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the College’s Mission is to develop the “whole student.” Academic excellence is the institution’s top priority, and it is achieved through a student-centered and nurturing approach to learning supported by excellent teaching, teaching-related research, and service. The College believes that one’s intellectual capability coupled with social and spiritual growth is essential to the development of a well-rounded individual. In keeping with this Mission, the College offers creative and enriching academic programs to prepare students for their chosen careers; and encourages active student engagement to cultivate life-long learning.
