An important part of a liberal arts education is the learning that occurs through association with people of differing backgrounds. Transylvania is committed to offering its students a diverse campus culture that reflects a range of racial, cultural, and ethnic traditions.
We aim to foster a campus community characterized by compassion, respect, ethical concern, and social responsibility. By living among people of sometimes radically divergent ways of thinking, students in the Transylvania community can learn to evaluate their own backgrounds against new ideas and ways of relating to others. In our Transylvania community we value the richness that comes from a range of individual differences, including dimensions of age, culture, education, ethnicity, exceptionalities, gender, geographical origin, language, politics, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.
