While
offering courses for career preparedness and personal development,
the College seeks to instill a love for knowledge. Through an academic
atmosphere that leads to open inquiry and debate, we encourage our
students to think broadly and creatively, and to develop an intellectual
curiosity that extends beyond the college years.
A 15:1 student-faculty ratio enables us to provide individualized
attention to each of our students, enhancing each student's ability
to acquire and synthesize knowledge in their chosen field of study.
Daemen students are taught by an outstanding faculty, 85 percent of
whom hold a Ph.D, or the terminal degree in their field. Our instructors
are from institutions such as Harvard, Oxford, the University of Notre
Dame, the University of California at Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon University,
Columbia University, and Yale University School of Medicine. In addition,
several of our faculty members have been recipients of Fulbright Awards.
Daemen College also believes education must go beyond personal and
career concerns. In this spirit, Daemen students are exposed to a
set of values encouraging them to contribute to the development of
the common good, one of the principles on which this College was founded.
More than 50 percent of our students choose to participate in the
Daemen Service Learning Program, which provides a wide range of opportunities
for interaction with local agencies, service organizations, and charitable
causes. The Daemen College Service
Learning Program has been selected by the National Points of Light
Foundation for outstanding service and commitment. It is an award
which reflects the time, energy, and effort Daemen students put into
helping their community, learning that, as individuals, they can and
do make a difference.
Daemen is located on a beautiful 39-acre suburban campus in Amherst,
New York, a community rated again this year by Money Magazine as the
safest mid-sized city in America. This location, in the Buffalo metropolitan
region, enables students of the College to have ready access to world-class
cultural attractions, first-rate theatre, professional sports, and
outstanding restaurants and shopping. Additionally, Toronto, Canada,
a booming and dynamic metropolitan region, is within easy driving
distance of the Daemen campus.
I invite you to browse our web site. Take a virtual
tour of the campus. You'll find we offer more than 30 undergraduate
degree programs, along with six graduate courses of study. We offer
a creative balance between programs providing career preparation and
the liberal arts. It's an atmosphere which enables our students to
achieve their personal and professional goals, to the betterment of
themselves, their workplaces, and their communities. I hope you enjoy
your visit.
