Dickinson College

Dickinson College, founded in 1773, is a highly selective, private residential liberal-arts college. Chartered in 1783, just days after the conclusion of the American Revolution, Dickinson's founder envisioned the college offering a distinctively original form of American education—one that was rigorously rooted in the traditional liberal arts and was also ultimately useful. As we face the challenges and complexities of the 21st century, Dickinson continues to seek direction from this revolutionary heritage within a contemporary context.
