History
Hamilton, N.Y., was still a frontier settlement in 1817 when 13 men met to found the Baptist Education Society of the State of New York. The founders are said to have backed up their experiment in education with 13 dollars and 13 prayers.
Education
This means fostering diversity of thought and action by offering 55 majors and numerous minors founded in a Liberal Arts Core Curriculum that has been recognized as one of the most elegant in the country. At the same time, our students contribute to a vibrant campus culture that complements and expands on the knowledge created in our classrooms and labs.

The office is responsible for the reporting and analysis of institutional data, and its findings support senior administration and faculty governance committees in planning and decision making. In addition, the office participates in assessment efforts and oversees faculty and student surveys. Finally, the office serves as the point of contact for requests from external sources of institutional reports.
