    Overview

    Founded in 1861, Vassar College is a highly selective, residential, coeducational liberal arts college. Vassar is renowned for pioneering achievements in education, for its long history of curricular innovation, and for the beauty of its campus.

    The mission of Vassar College is to make accessible "the means of a thorough, well-proportioned and liberal education* that inspires each individual to lead a purposeful life. The college makes possible an education that promotes analytical, informed, and independent thinking and sound judgment; encourages articulate expression; and nurtures intellectual curiosity, creativity, respectful debate and engaged citizenship. Founded in 1861 to provide women an education equal to that once available only to men, the college is now open to all. Vassar supports a high standard of engagement in teaching and learning, scholarship and artistic endeavor; a broad and deep curriculum; a community diverse in background and experience; and a residential campus that fosters a learning community.
