Mission Statement

The Friends World Program takes as its mission the development of well-educated world citizens, men and women from a broad spectrum of nationality and social class who participate in an undergraduate liberal arts program that enables them:

• to combine first-hand experience of diverse cultural realities with the critical study of academic disciplines and human and ecological problems;
• to test intellectual theories and skills against the demands of practice and service;
• to carry out specialized field study under expert guidance that synthesizes cross cultural understanding; and
• to develop a broad world view and a level of achievement in a chosen field sufficient to prepare for a life of committed action in the interest of the world community.
