St. Andrews Presbyterian College 3 ST. ANDREWS PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE As acollege ofthe Church, St. AndrewsPresbyterian Collegebelieves thatknowl- edge and faith are inseparable, thatwithoutknowledgefaithisfanatical andwithout faithknowledge iscynical. Accordingly,we existtonurture disciplined and inquiring minds, mature thinkerswho arewiselyinformed and effectivelycommunicative, and to nurture men and women who will find meaning in pursuing more than their individual well-being, who will in fact live with a sense ofvocation. Toward those ends, St. Andrews seeks to prepare its students by offering strong programs in the major fields of disciplinary inquiry including the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and natural and health sciences. We also seek to capitalize on those disciplinarystrengthsbydesigningprogramswhich integrate fields oflearning and experience: interdisciplinary St. Andrews General Education curriculum, SAGE. We further think of our social community as integrative. We are a residential college where people of diverse races, ages, physical abilities, and social back- grounds find in our shared purposes not only the support and freedom to develop academically and personally, but also the basis for a wholesome self-governing community. This community exists to serve its own members and, equally impor- tantly, to provide resources to the wide society. 4 Table ofContents Table of Contents 1 Introduction 9 Aim 10 Heritage 10
