SECOND EDITION, July 2009 AN INTRODUCTION A coeducational college of the liberal arts and sciences, Eckerd College is related by covenant to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The campus is located on 188 acres of tropical waterfront property in a suburban area of St. Petersburg, . The school was founded in 1958 as Florida and admitted its first students in 1960. In 1972, the College’s name was changed to honor the late Jack M. Eckerd, a prominent Florida civic leader and businessman whose gifts and commitments to the institution have helped to insure its continuing excellence. More than 11,000 graduates are seeking to lead lives of leadership and service in communities throughout the world.

ACCREDITATION Eckerd College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelors degrees.

Eckerd College Mission Statement The mission of Eckerd College is to provide excellent, innovative undergraduate and lifelong learning programs in the unique Florida environment, within the context of a covenant relationship with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The College expects its students to acquire a broad knowledge of past and present human cultures and of the rich and varied perspectives of different academic areas. The College expects its students to engage intellectually with the enduring questions of purpose, value, and meaning and to reflect seriously on the spiritual dimension of human existence. The College expects its students to acquire the intellectual depth appropriate to a baccalaureate education in a single discipline or subject, including mastery of a particular body of knowledge and an understanding of its principal modes of inquiry. The College expects its students to deepen their awareness and comprehension of two central issues: sustaining the natural environment and fostering cross-cultural understanding and respect for diversity in a global society. The College expects its students to strengthen their sense of personal and social responsibility for ethical reasoning and action, constructive community engage- ment, and thoughtful leadership through meaningful participation in campus life and the wider community. The College expects its students to develop and nurture the intellectual and practical skills that result from a liberal education: critical inquiry and analysis, effective written and oral communication, quantitative and information literacy, and teamwork and creative problem solving. The College offers lifelong learning programs consistent with the purposes, content, and values of a liberal arts education. Pursuant to these aims Eckerd College supports a faculty dedicated to fostering student learning through effective teaching and mentoring, productive scholar- ship and artistic endeavor, and broad participation in the campus community. Eckerd also supports a staff dedicated to creating an environment that fosters the College’s learning community and supports the students in their intellectual, artistic, and moral development. The governing board, administration, faculty, and staff share a commitment to sustaining and improving a college community that fosters a strong values- oriented liberal arts education for its students.

While education is a lifelong process, the Eckerd experience is designed to assist students to go beyond the limitations imposed by ignorance, narrowness, conformity, self-centeredness, and irresponsibility. Our aims are to help individuals achieve excellence in thought and conduct and to spark their imagination about future possibilities.

THE COMMITMENT TO SPIRITUAL LIFE Eckerd College was founded by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a tradition of Reformed Christianity that believes an educated society is crucial for resisting political and religious tyranny. These Presbyterian founders built the college on the foundational conviction that truth, in its innumerable forms and expressions, holds the power to set humanity free from oppressive ideas and practices. This conviction is the heart and soul of a liberal arts education. To nurture this foundational conviction, Eckerd College maintains a covenant relationship with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This relation-

To exercise respect for human dignity in attitudes and relationships. 3. To conduct oneself with integrity in academic work and as a citizen of the college community. 4. To respect the rights and property of other students and their need for an environment conducive to scholarly work. 5. To respect the rights and property of Eckerd College and to protect its reputation as a college of distinction with a student body of high quality.

The cost of an additional Winter Term for freshmen is a separate charge not included in the full-time fees. The Leadership and Self-Discovery Practicum for freshmen (see page 9) may not substitute for Winter Term. The Winter Term in the senior year is usually spent working on a comprehensive examination or senior thesis or project required for completion of a major. As an indication of the range of educational opportunities available through Eckerd College during the Winter Term, the following is a list of project titles offered in the past:

11 The fundamental questions that inform our teaching-learning enterprise in the sciences are: How do we know? What is the evidence? What is the argument that interprets the evidence? Are there alternative explanations? To answer these questions, the Collegium emphasizes the develop- ment of the skills of observation, measurement, experimental design, problem-solving, research, and the study of the principles and concepts that are necessary for successful scientific investigation. The programs in the Natural Sciences provide a learning environment in which students are able to broaden and deepen their response to the beauty of ideas, methods, tools, structures, objects, and living organisms, with the aim to provide students with the knowledge and techniques that will be important in solving the problems of a fast- changing global community.
