Keene State's Mission

It is the mission of Keene State College to provide and maintain an intellectual environment grounded in the liberal arts that fosters both the personal and professional growth of our students. In support of
this mission the College promotes and sustains strong
relationships among students, faculty, and staff that emphasize creative and critical thinking, scholarship and research, and a passion for learning. Through a mature commitment to learning and service, students will be able to integrate different forms of scholarship and will graduate with substantive knowledge in a
chosen field of study. Through the retention and support of a caring staff and a faculty of effective teachers and active scholars, the College prepares students for success in a complex, interdependent world.
