| Greensboro College, an independent, coeducational college affiliated with the United Methodist Church, is an academic and social community that unites the liberal arts and Judeo-Christian values in an atmosphere of diversity and mutual respect.
True to the United Methodist Church's historic ideal of nonsectarian education, Greensboro College's central purpose is the intellectual development of its students within the dual traditions of the liberal arts and the Judeo-Christian Faith. Through a disciplined pursuit of truth, its students acquire knowledge and develop a critical awareness that allows them to live humanely, responsibly, and productively in a free society. Such lives are characterized by clarity of thought and expression, a sense of history, an understanding of literature and language, knowledge of mathematics and science, an appreciation of the arts, an awareness of political and social reality, and a familiarity with the biblical tradition and a respect for physical soundness.
Through its student development services and other curricular offerings, Greensboro College encourages the personal and spiritual development of its students. A range of religious, cultural, service, social, and athletic programs allows students to participate meaningfully in a rich campus and community life and encourages students to develop a system of values consistent with the mission of the college.
Through its professional, pre-professional, and career-oriented programs, Greensboro College concentrates on the professional development of its students. Indeed, the college believes the liberal arts curriculum to be the most appropriate context for such programs. A liberal education provides basic intellectual and communicative capabilities that enable a person to develop and adapt throughout a productive lifetime.
Greensboro College is located in downtown Greensboro, NC, in the historic College Hill district. |
