Organizations Filed Purposes: Bates is a college of the liberal arts and sciences, and is a coeducational, nonsectarian, residential college with special commitments to academic rigor, and to assuring in all of its efforts the dignity of each individual, and access to its programs and opportunities by qualified learners. Bates offers a curriculum and faculty that challenge students to attain intellectual achievements and to develop powers of critical assessment, analysis, expression, aesthetic sensibility, and independent thought. The College sponsors cultural, volunteer, athletic, social, and religious opportunities which are open to all students, and values participation in these activities.

Bates College is a private, highly selective, residential college devoted to undergraduate study in the traditional disciplines of the liberal arts and sciences as well as in emerging interdisciplinary programs.

Higher Education: Bates College, widely regarded as one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the nation, is dedicated to the principle of active engagement. A 10-1 student-faculty ratio makes possible close collaborations in classroom and laboratory; the Bates learning experience is honed through seminars, research, service-learning, and the capstone of senior thesis. Typically, two-thirds of Bates' approximately 1,820 students on campus study abroad at some point during their academic careers at Bates. Co-curricular life is rich: most students participate in one of approximately 120 student-run clubs and organizations. Alumni frequently cite the capacities they develop at Bates for critical assessment, analysis, expression, aesthetic sensibility and independent thought. Close to 80 percent of students participate in career internships, and more than two-thirds of recent graduates enroll in graduate study within 10 years after graduation. (Approximately 1,820 students on-campus.)
