Mission  
School mission: Purchase College unusually combines conservatory programs in the arts with distinctive liberal arts programs. Its location in Westchester allows access to New York City 35 miles away, but provides a safe self-contained 500 acre campus in a suburban location that contains superb facilities, including a major Performing Arts Center and the Neuberger Museum of Art. Its academic programs combine attention to general education with structured curricula; all programs culminate in a required senior project, and increasingly students enter learning communities which provide faculty and peer mentors, advisors and shared academic and co-curricular activities.
