The mission of Wilmington College is to educate, inspire and prepare each student for a life of service and success. To fulfill that mission, Wilmington College provides a high quality undergraduate and graduate educational environment shaped by the traditions of the liberal arts, career preparation and the distinctive practices of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). By offering academic programs, practical experience and co-curricular activities in a variety of settings to students from diverse backgrounds, the College leads students to gain an awareness of the world, to acquire knowledge of career and vocation and to seek truth and social justice.
In keeping with the rich heritage of the liberal arts, the College seeks to educate the whole person – intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual – in ways that foster critical thinking, reflection, the free exchange of ideas, open inquiry, respect for all persons and a desire for lifelong learning. The liberal arts are integrated with career preparation to help students develop the knowledge and skills to succeed in a career or further education.
As an academic community, Wilmington College is rooted in historic Quaker values, also known as testimonies, which include integrity, service, stewardship, equality, peace and social justice and respect for all persons. These historic testimonies motivate those who learn and work at the College to make positive contributions to their professions and their communities.
Wilmington College intends to make significant progress in the next decade toward being a model college that melds the liberal arts and career preparation in order to graduate liberally educated professionals. To move towards this vision, Wilmington will:

• Integrate career preparation with the traditions and foundational skills of the liberal arts;
• Challenge students to live the historic Quaker testimonies of integrity, service, peace and social justice, stewardship and respect for all persons and to practice them in their communities and workplaces;
• Promote every student’s participation in hands-on experiences including internships, community service and international study programs;
• Create a caring campus community that embraces civility, respect and trust; and
• Demonstrate a commitment to this vision by placing the needs of students at the center of decision-making.

Wilmington College combines the best traditions and qualities of a liberal arts education with a deep commitment to prepare students for the world of work or advanced study. We believe the integration of the liberal arts with career preparation strikes the right balance and provides an excellent foundation for leading lives of success and service in the 21st century.
Wilmington College also believes in a values-based education. Wilmington is not only concerned about our students’ academic development, but their moral and spiritual growth as well. The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) founded the College in 1870, welcoming persons of all faiths, races, and cultures. The College remains committed to that spirit of inclusion and continues to embrace such Quaker values as consensus-based decision making, humanitarian service, respect for all persons, international awareness, peace, and social justice. While these values come to us from our Quaker affiliation, they are truly universal and many denominations and cultures embrace them.
Through a varied curriculum and an array of co-curricular activities, students learn and grow, both inside and outside the classroom. They encounter a first-rate faculty and a caring staff who are dedicated and devoted to delivering education and providing services in a personal and supportive manner. Wilmington College is definitely student-centered.
Wilmington College offers a distinctive educational experience. By incorporating the best traditions of the liberal arts, by integrating career preparation activities, and by instilling important values inherited from our Quaker founders, we prepare students to make a living, a life, and a difference and equip them to contribute positively to their professions and in their communities.
Academics is at the heart of the Wilmington College experience. It all begins with a liberal arts curriculum that’s designed to develop you as a whole-body, mind, and spirit. You’ll gain knowledge hands-on, and you’ll build valuable interpersonal skills that only come from real-world experience beyond the classroom.
