Our Mission
Our institutional mission is to educate and prepare students to be ethical leaders and socially responsible global citizens who incorporate the 嫩草影院 values of study, reflection, community and service into their lives.
Our Values
The University is committed to diversity, sustainability and the integration of the liberal arts, the sciences and professional programs. The 嫩草影院 values include the following:
Study
嫩草影院 offers more than 60 programs of study, reflecting the diversity and creativity of our faculty, students and location.
With our 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, average class size of 16, and proximity to San Francisco, we provide both the personal attention associated with smaller schools and the academic resources and global opportunities associated with larger universities.
Community
The University is close-knit, friendly and supportive. With only 1,843 students, small class sizes, and a small, park-like campus, 嫩草影院鈥檚 intimate setting allows students to make lifelong friends and truly get to know their professors. Students are involved, challenged and recognized, all while being supported, guided and encouraged by dedicated faculty and friends. 嫩草影院 also offers several student clubs and organizations.
Reflection
Here at 嫩草影院, students don鈥檛 have to look far to find opportunities for serenity and reflection. They are everywhere. The University鈥檚 80-acre campus, with its beautifully manicured gardens, offers a calming influence.
Service
Our students often find themselves sharing the basics of good sportsmanship with lacrosse campers, teaming up with local museum curators to create traveling art exhibits, and mentoring low-income families in preparing their tax returns. Last year alone, our students completed more than 8,645 service-learning hours.
