The New Collegiate Experience, A Learning Centered, Service Driven, Quality Minded Environment
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
