Simpson College's Mission Statement

Simpson's mission is to help each of our students develop the critical intellectual skills neccesary to grow as free, responsible and fulfilled individuals. That means that we help you learn to the best for your ability--to think, write, speak, process, analyze and use a wealth of information. We believe we succeed, and so do a lot of other people. At Simpson, learning goes beyond the classroom. You will experience education fully because activities outside class are considered an integral part of our liberal arts education. The faculty members are concerned about more than just your grades and class performance--they care about your personal development. The professors are accessible and will challenge you and help you along the way. Our affiliation with The United Methodist Church serves as a resource to our community for growth, renewal and guidance. You will be given opportunities to explore and realize your potential for learning. We lay the foundation, but you build your own educational experience.
