About this organization
Mission
To provide a liberal arts education to students from diverse backgrounds.
About
Higher education: Our mission is carried out through our curriculum, the character of our learning environment, our residential campus culture, and our community. Knox College has a tradition of free inquiry, independent thought, and diverse perspectives. Our students choose their own path towards a degree, guided by scholar teachers who encourage them to explore ideas and places, stretch their intellect and their talents, blend thought with action, and fuse imagination with initiative. Founded in 1837 by social reformers strongly opposed to slavery, Knox was one of the first colleges in the United States open to both women and people of color. It was on our campus that Abraham Lincoln chose to denounce slavery on moral terms for the first time, during the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debate. With a campus population that includes students from 48 states and 51 countries, 25% U.S students of color, and individuals from every imaginable religious and socioeconomic background, members of the Knox community are actively challenged to broaden their points of view. Knox College is a college that changes lives (1,333 students)
