MacMurray College is a career-directed college of liberal arts committed to preparing graduates for satisfying and productive professional careers, effective leadership, and enriched lives of continuing learning, achievement, and service. Beyond outstanding preparation in specific fields of specialization, the MacMurray experience transforms students’ lives through recognized excellence in the teaching of critical thinking, exemplary skills in communication, and the pivotal ideas and ethical insights that have shaped human civilizations. This transformation extends beyond the classroom to the many laboratories of learning and leadership in our students’ chosen fields and in conscious integration of students’ intellectual and extracurricular lives on campus. Inspired and informed by our shared heritage with The United Methodist Church, we at MacMurray educate within a strong sense of community distinguished by individual attention and authentic caring.
MacMurray College strives to be a regionally prominent and nationally recognized institution of higher education with particular distinction in the preparation of leaders within education, the professions, business, human services, and public service. MacMurray will be--in substance and perception--an institutional leader in preserving and adapting the best of the liberal arts tradition in education to the personal, economic, societal, and global needs of the 21st century.
