mission statement
Mission of challenge, nurture, community: carson-newman college offers a christian, liberal arts education in an environment that encourages open intellectual inquiry and deeper spiritual maturity. Students receive a personalized education in small classes. Caring faculty and staff mentors get to know and nurture each student. We seek to instill christian values in our students and inspire them to use unique gifts for a lifetime of service. The historic baptist distinctives of religious liberty, personal responsibility, and compassion for others create a welcoming community that fosters a sense of belonging. The cultural heritage and geographic beauty of the appalachian region enriches the carson-newman experience, and the college contributes to the environmental preservation adn economic development of this national treasure. Vision: to become a premier christian liberal arts college with a world-wide impact.
