Our Mission + Commitment

Launch Experience

Founded in 1833, Stephens College is an institution committed to her mission to Learn. Grow. Lead. Stephens is resilient and optimistic, faithful to her traditions, and eager to embrace the future. We focus on these principles through the School of Health Sciences, Conservatory for the Performing Arts, and School of Integrative Studies.

Stephens continues to prepare graduates (whether from our undergraduate residential college, co-educational graduate programs, or 98-year-strong Children’s School) for the lives that await them — lives of distinction, integrity and service.

A Mission That Guides Us

Stephens College is proud to be the second-oldest women’s college in the country. Shaped by our Ten Ideals, we stand in service to generation after generation of Stephens students.
