It’s a very different world from when Dickinson was chartered, but the core beliefs on which we were founded still hold true today.

Our distinct characteristics of independence, inquiry and engagement are rooted in a practical, real-world approach to the liberal arts. Grounded in the arts and sciences, a Dickinson liberal-arts education gives our students a deeper understanding of how the world works.

Whether they pursue a career as a teacher, lawyer, researcher, CEO or curator, graduates leave ready to make significant contributions in an ever-changing world.
