A flexible, undergraduate liberal arts curriculum stresses the ability to think critically and creatively, to act humanely and responsibly, and to be expressive. McDaniel College believes that liberally educated men and women take charge of their lives and develop their unique potentials with reason, imagination, and human concern. They take their place in the global community, understanding their responsibilities to aid individuals and to contribute to the larger society. McDaniel College places students at the center of a humane environment so that they may see and work toward their personal goals while respecting others and sharing responsibility for the common good. We provide a foundation of knowledge about the past and present so that students may be informed about the world. We provide various approaches to knowledge and personal achievement so that students can think critically about, respond creatively to, and form sensitive, intelligent decisions concerning the world and its future. We provide instruction in fundamental skills so that students can express themselves for their own satisfaction and to the larger community.
