At the heart of Middlebury College’s mission is encouraging students to explore the full range of the liberal arts and sciences and at the same time to pursue a deep understanding of the areas they choose as majors. Two other goals are implicit in this one: fostering an ambitious, coherent curriculum and cultivating a superb faculty, who provide a model for students of the intellectual engagement offered by in-depth exploration of a field.

From Middlebury College’s
mission statement, adopted in 2006:
“We strive to engage students’ capacity for rigorous analysis and independent thought within a wide range of disciplines and endeavors, and to cultivate the intellectual, creative, physical, ethical, and social qualities essential for leadership in a rapidly changing global community. Through the pursuit of knowledge unconstrained by national or disciplinary boundaries, students who come to Middlebury learn to engage the world.” |
