Williams mission is to recruit actively, admit responsibly, instruct effectively, and influence positively both traditional and non-traditional students seeking intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth within the philosophical orientation of a conservative Christian world view, the Judeo-Christian heritage, and Western culture. Fulfilling its mission to educate, equip, and enrich students to be articulate and contributing members of a global society, Williams requires a general curriculum of arts and sciences with opportunities to pursue liberal arts and professional degrees. Williams accomplishes its mission through a wide range of student services, a qualified faculty and staff, athletic programs, an aesthetically-pleasing campus, appropriate facilities, current technological support, opportunities for cultural encounters, and a spiritual atmosphere which emphasizes faith and family values.
