What We're All About
Mission and Vision
The mission of Wilmington College is to educate, inspire and prepare each student for a life of service and success.
To fulfill that mission, Wilmington College provides a high-quality undergraduate and graduate educational environment shaped by the traditions of the liberal arts, career preparation and the distinctive practices of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). By offering academic programs, practical experience and cocurricular activities in a variety of settings to students from diverse backgrounds, the College leads students to gain an awareness of the world, to acquire knowledge of careers and vocations, and to seek truth and social justice.
History and Traditions
With more than 150 years of experience in higher education, we have grown and learned a lot since our first graduating class of four in 1875. Not prone to rest on our laurels, we will continue to rise to the growing needs of our students and the overall global climate.
We invite you to learn more about our past and how we have adapted through the years. While you do so, we encourage you to ask yourself “How will I make my mark in history?”
Accreditation
Accreditation is an important process that ensures that a college’s programs, faculty and other resources meet specific standards of excellence required by the accrediting board. In some fields, your accredited degree is a requirement for licensure.
