Ferrum
College is a liberal arts institution founded on Christian principles
and related to the United Methodist Church. It is our mission to educate
students in the disciplines of higher learning and to help them be thoughtful
and perceptive, to be articulate and professionally capable, and to
be caring and concerned citizens of their community, nation, and world.
We therefore commit ourselves to developing the whole student, both
in openness to a wide range of intellectual discovery, and in the physical,
spiritual, and social aspects of life.
