  • Your Experience Starts Here: a Guide to Springfield
    YOUR EXPERIENCE STARTS HERE. SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE IT STARTS WITH HUMANICS. IT CONTINUES WITH YOU. Humanics. The age-old Greek ideal of the balanced individual. Like the ancient Greeks, we believe a person’s emotional, intellectual, and physical lives are deeply interconnected. Our Humanics philosophy calls for the education of the whole person—in spirit, mind, and body—for leadership in service to others. We represent this ideology with an equilateral triangle, standing on its point. It’s all about balance. But, outstanding balance can only be built on an outstanding education, an exceptional student experience, a robust return on investment (You want a worthwhile career, right?), and at a place that feels like home from the moment you step foot there. At Springfield College, we’ll help you build your community, create your future, and grow into the best version of you. If you are looking to invest in your balanced self to serve a society that needs your educated leadership, then the best education, the best investment, the best value, the best choice is Springfield College. Come see for yourself. Experience our beautiful campus, our caring and committed faculty and staff, and our students who, like you, can change the world. Schedule a visit. It will be your best visit ever. • Let us personalize your visit. You pick the time and date, and we’ll do the rest. • Find the perfect time for you on our calendar at springfield.edu/visit. • Tours are offered year round and can include an overnight stay.
