Mission  
School mission The Mission of Paine College is to provide a liberal arts education of the highest quality that emphasizes academic excellence, ethical and spiritual values, social responsibility, and personal development.

Paine College is special because of the caring faculty and staff members and alumni who seek to assist students in their personal development as well as academic lives. A special strength is the Undergraduate to Graduate Program, a structured support program that provides guidance and assistance related to completing all preparations associated with enrolling in graduate school.

The education programs are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the business administration programs are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
