About Dickinson College
Founded in 1773 and chartered 10 years later, Dickinson College is one of the nation's oldest institutions of higher learning. But it is also one of the most contemporary in its ongoing mission to prepare globally engaged and informed citizens; developing in them the habits of mind articulated by the Dickinson Dimensions: global sensibility; ability to seek connections; a passion to engage the world; commitment to practice civility; sense of personal accountability.
