You and your daughter share high expectations, and so too, does Spelman. The College will ask a lot of her, but she can expect even more in return:

• To follow in the footsteps of extraordinary Spelman
  alumnae who have cleared a pathway of unparalleled success for themselves, and for her, by forging a reputation of exemplary achievement;

• To be mentored by distinguished and caring professors and staff who have in common a love of teaching and an abiding appreciation for the intellectual, ethical and leadership capacity of women; and
  
• To grow into womanhood with her Spelman ‘sisters,’ kindred spirits who share comparable goals, similar aspirations, and a unique sense of camaraderie that will last a lifetime.

Talented young women, just like your daughter, have come to Spelman for more than a century seeking the very best in higher education. What they have found is a private, independent, historically Black college for women – ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the Top 75 Best Liberal Arts Colleges in the nation – a safe and secure place built just for women,where the education of women is at the very heart of the institutional mission.
