STATEMENT
OF PURPOSE
Brewton-Parker
College offers an undergraduate education that is committed
to academic excellence, grounded in the liberal arts tradition,
and informed by the Christian faith. The College's heritage
as a Georgia Baptist institution produces a concern for
individuals that motivates our community to nurture and
develop the whole student in a caring, Christian environment.
Faculty members serve as teacher-scholars promoting intellectual
inquiry that develops the mind and spirit. Students study
the traditional liberal arts and sciences, and selected
professional and pre-professional programs, at the campus
in Mount Vernon and designated external locations. Activities
both inside and outside the classroom afford students opportunities
for intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth
that prepare them for meaningful service to their local,
regional, and global communities.
EXTERNAL
PROGRAMS MISSION
The
Division of External Programs seeks to help the College
meet its mission through the provision of an equally effective
academic program at sites that are distant to the Mount
Vernon campus. The Division of External Programs provides
a community of intellectual inquiry and learning under Christian
sponsorship to students unable to commute to the Mount Vernon
Campus for such an educational experience. Furthermore,
the Division of External Programs develops student maturation
in knowledge, values and citizenship through baccalaureate
degrees and the Associate of Arts degree, and through the
provision of counseling and career guidance as well as to
assist students to learn.
EXTERNAL
PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY
The
External Programs is a community service program intended
to reach into the surrounding counties by delivering accredited
college instruction to constituents unable to be serviced
by Brewton-Parker's Mount Vernon campus because of work,
distance, or other life situations.
VISION

Brewton-Parker
College will be a distinctive community of learners committed

the Christian faith in a nurturing Christian environment.
