Mission Statement

“Miles College—a senior, liberal arts, church related college with roots in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and in the tradition of the Historically Black College— motivates and directs its students to seek holistic development that leads to intellectual, ethical, spiritual and service-oriented lives. Guided by these core values, the Miles College education involves students in rigorous study of the liberal arts as preparation for work and life-long learning, in the acquisition of verbal, technological and cultural literacy, and in critical community participation; all as a prelude to responsible citizenship in the global society which they will help to shape.”
