Mission Statement

ALDERSON-BROADDUS COLLEGE is an independent institution of higher learning dedicated to providing education of the highest quality, with selected programs in the health sciences, social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and education. All programs are based on a strong liberal arts foundation which prepares students for responsible citizenship and lifelong learning. Rooted in historic and continuing relationships with American Baptist Churches U.S.A., the College encourages the academic goals of the acquisition of knowledge, freedom of intellectual inquiry, and critical thinking. It also encourages Christian values, including reasoned religious belief, personal moral integrity, and humanitarian service to others. The College is a caring community which strives to meet the intellectual, spiritual, social, psychological, and physical needs of students. Alderson-Broaddus College is committed to serving the region as an academic, cultural, and religious resource.
The graduate school rankings on phds.org have been made possible by grants from The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and The Burroughs Wellcome Fund. The Center for Science and the Media served as the fiscal sponsor for the project.
