Quality, application of knowledge, technological integration, and
accountability are the cornerstones of Longwood College and the foundation
for the New Collegiate Experience.
Quality
The New Collegiate Experience depends upon the quality
of the institution. As we look forward to the 21st century and the
challenges ahead, Longwood College has the advantage of a sound philosophy
to provide a highly relevant and uniquely supportive collegiate experience.
It is a philosophy of enduring value and one that has earned the College
a long-standing reputation for educational excellence.
But what is relevant and what is meant by supportive in
this new environment must now meet new learning needs of students
and position the college more competitively. The full success of The
New Collegiate Experience will be realized by the synergy of many
qualities, including:
- Faculty who demonstrate scholarship, leadership, exceptional
teaching, and continuous improvement
- sustained low student-to-faculty ratio of 19:1
- A personalized advising system for students that is responsive
to individual needs and monitors academic progress
- Legendary service – from the classroom to the dorm room,
from advising to student services – a support system that is
highly cooperative
- Facilities and infrastructure that support learning, fellowship,
and health and fitness activities to promote a healthy, responsible
lifestyle
- Advisory boards to provide continuing awareness of market trends
and practices for students and faculty
