During the 2000-2001 academic school year Judson College will offer students, friends and alumnae many opportunities to enjoy the beautiful campus. Special events will include the first performance in the Concert/Lecture series featuring renowned Christian artist Babbie Mason, weekly chapel services, a production of “The Nutcracker,” Christmas Tea and Vespers, intercollegiate sporting events, and J-Day weekend. Judson’s calendar is full of events and activities that are sure to please everyone.
Founded in 1838, Judson College is the sixth oldest women’s college in the nation and the only women’s college in Alabama. Service, missions, volunteering, worship, Bible study, and campus ministries are integral to the college and its relevance to society. Extraordinary leadership positions in honor societies, student government association, dormitory councils and a host of other clubs and organizations assure women of opportunities to develop communication skills and gain peer recognition.
Intercollegiate and intramural sports, a Wellness Center, and activity courses encourage teamwork and fitness. Horseback riding, canoeing and cycling are activities students enjoy on and around the beautiful 80-acre campus.
Resident halls equipped with Internet access provide students the World Wide Web, broadening their
research capabilities. The current college-provided computer-to-student ratio is a low seven to one.
With a 10-to-one student-teacher ratio, and 66 percent of the full-time faculty holding doctorate or terminal degrees in their field, students are offered every advantage to succeed in their course of study. Ninety-five percent of recent graduates have been accepted into graduate programs of their choice or have achieved full-time employment. At Judson College, all efforts and facilities are directed toward enabling young women as they strengthen their minds, hearts and souls.
Judson students are eager to take part in changing their world. Since its beginning, Judson has produced missions-minded women. This tradition continues today. Each year students give their Spring and Summer breaks to serve on the domestic or the international mission field. Judson women travel as far away as Singapore and Venezuela or stay as close to home as WorldSong at Cook Springs. These women give their time to missions in their own communities and all over the world.
Judson College is proud of the alumnae and their accomplishments. Alumnae established the first shelter for battered women in Alabama, were the first from Alabama to perform with the Metropolitan Opera, were among the first to take Christianity to China in the19th century, are among the first women to head research laboratories, are among the distinguished MacArthur Fellows, are
distinguished as educators and are listed among best-selling authors. The College achieves this remarkable record as a liberal arts college for women that seeks to engage the minds, hearts and souls of women in the pursuit of truth. Judson College remains committed to providing quality Christian higher education.
