SPELMAN COLLEGE MISSION AND PURPOSE
Mission Statement
Spelman College, a historically Black College for women and a global leader in the education of
women of African descent, is dedicated to academic excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and
the intellectual, creative, ethical, and leadership potential of its students. Spelman empowers the
whole person to engage the many cultures of the world and inspires a commitment to positive social
change.
Statement of Purpose
Spelman College is a member of the Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUCC) where students
enjoy the benefits of a small college while having access to the resources of our partner institutions of
Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Morehouse School of Medicine. In addition, the
college partners with Emory University, Georgia State University, and Georgia Tech through our
membership in the Atlanta Reginal Council on Higher Education (ARCHE).
Spelman offers an educational experience characterized by excellence. It reinforces civility,
commitment, and consistency of character and inspires a love of learning. The programs of the
College rest on the expectation that the students, the community, and society at large will benefit from
a liberal arts education. Spelman has over 130 years of demonstrated leadership in educating Black
women leaders.
