Emerson College

Mission Statement:

Emerson College is committed to excellence in education for communication and the arts. Founded on the study of oratory and the performing arts, Emerson’s distinctive undergraduate and graduate curricula have expanded. We continue to challenge students to think and express themselves with clarity, substance and insight, instilling the highest professional standards through rigorous academic inquiry and experiential learning. Its specialized major and external programs are based in and integrated with the liberal arts and interdisciplinary study, and are informed by a set of core values: freedom of expression, diversity of perspective, cultural awareness, integrity, civility, and the responsibility of ethical choice.

Our mission is to inspire students to create and communicate with depth, honesty, courage, and passion, both as professionals in their fields and as informed and articulate participants in society.
