Certainly the thrust at Coleman College has always been the preparation of people for meaningful careers. However, not all life's rewards are strictly economic, and college should be more than a credentials factory. Coleman students want an education that treats them as human beings as well as future wage-earners. They want to learn to think analytically and creatively, to understand facts and ideas, to reason from them, and express conclusions clearly. Coleman College is for people who know where they are going and are willing to make an extra effort to achieve their goals.
Students are part of a warm, total environment for individual education.
Limited enrollment fosters close personal relationships between students and staff. Coleman faculty members are available to students at all times during the school day. The classroom is the instructor's office. This availability makes it possible for enterprising students to extend themselves to their intellectual limits. Most students concentrate first on the major portion of their work in their career field, then distribute the remainder of their courses among the major areas of knowledge.
