ABSTRACT

Multicultural colleges aim to provide their students with an environment in which the faculty, administrators, and students come together to share knowledge and to provide contexts for further application of ideas in order to help the world become a better place. The data used for institutional profiles were obtained from various institutional offices, websites, popular publications, and other resources. According to its mission, Balsam College challenges its students by providing a liberal education of the highest quality, preparing them to lead rewarding, creative, and useful lives. Cedar University’s mission is to provide a dynamic educational experience to a select group of diverse, talented, intellectually sophisticated students who are capable of challenging themselves, their peers, and their teachers in a setting that brings together living and learning. Elm College provides many opportunities for cross-cultural education and exchanges between students. Several themes flow through the mission statement of Hickory College, particularly that of diversity. Pine College’s mission focuses on interdisciplinarism and multiculturalism.
