Marygrove College
Description
Here you'll meet students and faculty from all walks of life, representing the people and ideas of the world. Some students are eighteen, others are 40. Some grew up just a few miles from the Marygrove campus, others from as far away as Asia and Africa.
In a word, we are diverse - women and men of all ages with various cultural, ethnic and political backgrounds. But what brings us together is one clear mission: As a forward-thinking, independent Catholic liberal arts college, we want you to become a competent, compassionate, and committed leader.
There's something miraculous about Marygrove.
Step on the campus and you'll feel it. It gets into you, makes you want to grow, makes you want to take charge of your life. We think it's the legacy and spirit of our founders, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who have blazed trails and fought hard for what they believed in since 1845.
Marygrove College, an independent Catholic liberal arts college sponsored by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is committed to fostering Christian values, to educating students from diverse backgrounds, and to serving the people of Metropolitan Detroit and beyond. The fundamental purpose of Marygrove College is to educate each student toward intellectual and professional competence; toward career flexibility through grounding in the liberal arts; and toward active compassion and commitment. To this end, Marygrove provides a personalized learning environment which, through excellent teaching in its undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs, sets for its students these goals:
Competence, the ability to understand and participate effectively in the promise of our evolving world.
Compassion, the capacity to care about and respect the worth and dignity of people.
Commitment, the will to act responsibly based upon one's beliefs and to contribute to the building of a more just and humane world.
