Veronica Baxter, SNJM An accredited coeducational liberal arts college, Marylhurst offers both degree and non-degree programs designed to meet the learning needs of contemporary adults. Flexibility in scheduling and delivery of academic services now makes a college educa- tion available to those who had previously been excluded from the educational process. Marylhurst's unique blend of tradition and rnnovation attracts active learners to the classroom. students who are challenging. inquisitive, and excited about learning. Many are starting or completing a bachelor's degree, others are studying to satisfy immediate work or personal needs, and still others are pursuing independent learning. Marylhurst provides a different way to learn and an environment in which education is more thanjust textbook theory Learning is an active-rather than passive - process. Alternative styles of learning {such as internships, independent study) enable students to select the method of study which best fits their need.
