Holy Cross is a highly selective, four-year, undergraduate, liberal arts institution and is ranked among the
nation’s leading four-year liberal arts colleges. Over time, Holy Cross has continuously evolved to reflect the needs of its more than

influencing everything the college does.

As a liberal arts college, Holy Cross pursues excellence in teaching, learning, and
research. All members of the Holy Cross community are challenged to be open to new ideas, to be patient with ambiguity and uncertainty, and

experience, Holy Cross seeks to build a community marked by freedom, mutual respect, and civility.
