About Arcadia

We prepare community members with the nimbleness to address the multifaceted challenges of civic life and to pursue new strategies in a dynamic world.

We challenge ourselves to perform at and provide high standards in education, experience, and opportunity. Academic excellence is evidenced in the rigor and vigor of our programs and also in the qualities of our alumni.

We facilitate a boundless learning environment across disciplines that integrate diverse perspectives into new knowledge and novel solutions to complex problems.

We are honest and ethical in our actions, individually and collectively as an institution. Our integrative experiences, grounded in the liberal arts and sciences, cultivate intellectual and social responsibility.

We encourage freedom of thought and expression irrespective of ideological perspectives throughout our community of learners.

We bring our individual and collective resources to bear to seek positive transformation in our community and the world. We are always on guard against injustice and its causes.

Embracing our diversity creates a rich and welcoming atmosphere where the difference in culture, perspective, and belief enriches academic discourse and campus life and creates a sense of belonging for all community members.

We are committed stewards of Arcadia, and we will ensure that decisions are made in accordance with our institutional mission, goals, and guidelines.
