| ORGANIZATION'S MISSION STATEMENT | FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 AND PART III, LINE 1 | SAINT MICHAEL'S COLLEGE IS A CATHOLIC LIBERAL ARTS RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE COMMITTED TO THE PURSUIT OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, WITH AN UNDERGRADUATE ENROLLMENT OF APPROXIMATELY 2,000 STUDENTS AND 650 GRADUATE STUDENTS. WE CREATE AND SUSTAIN AN OPTIMAL LIVING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES A VIBRANT INTELLECTUAL LIFE AND CHALLENGES STUDENTS TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES TO EXTEND THEIR MINDS AND EXPERIENCES WITHIN AND BEYOND OUR VERMONT LOCATION. |
| PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | FORM 990, PART III, LINES 4A, 4B, 4C, AND 4D | Academic Programs and Financial Support (Line 4A) The academic program is at the heart of the College's Mission and the reason for Saint Michael's College's existence. The College provides education with a social conscience, producing graduates with intellectual tools to lead successful, purposeful lives that will contribute to peace and justice in our world. Saint Michael's College students personalize their education through research, internships, and small classes, preparing them for a lifetime, not just for their first job out of college. The academic program is rigorous and calibrated to the appropriate developmental levels of students (first-year students through graduate level). The undergraduate academic program offers degrees in 23 different majors for the Bachelor of Arts Degree and 10 majors for the Bachelor of Science Degree. Students may also, choose from 34 minor programs. The academic program for graduate students includes 3 programs leading to Masters degrees in Clinical Psychology, Education and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Saint Michael's College awarded 408 Bachelors degrees and 113 Masters degrees during 2012-2013 academic year with, 1936 students enrolled in Baccalaureate degree programs and 571 in Masters degree programs. The class of 2013 had 349 graduates in May, of which 211, or 60%, also earned Minors. After receiving a Bachelors degree from Saint Michael's College, over 95% of our students enter the work force in a variety of careers or continue their education in a post-graduate program. The 4 year average (2003 - 2006) student-right-to-know completion or graduation rate is 79%; this rate compared favorably to the 70% reported by Act National Graduation rates for private 4-year institutions offering only bachelors degrees in the selective category. The College's goal is to have 30% of each graduating class study abroad. Over 20 third party program providers offer students opportunities to study in over 70 countries and the College has met this goal for the last 5 academic years. The College has made strides in educating students beyond the classroom in preparation for their careers after graduation. In 2012-2013, 236 students engaged in supervised academic internships, compared with 253 in the previous year, representing over 12% of the student body for each of these academic years. In the summer of 2013, 40 students were engaged in independent research with professors, and this compares with 47 students in the summer of 2012 and 46 students in the summer of 2011. The College has a robust honors program which began in the late 1980's, and recognizes high achievement among our students. In 2013, 43 students (or 10% of the senior class) graduated in the honors program. In the spring of 2014, 420 students from all four classes, about 22% of the student body, were members of the honors program. In addition, Saint Michael's College shelters a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Epsilon Sigma and eleven discipline based honors societies with nearly 100 members of the class of 2013. In 2003 Saint Michael's College joined the elite group of 280 colleges nationwide with Phi Beta Kappa chapters, making Saint Michael's College one of the only 22 Catholic Colleges in the U.S. and one of four in New England with such a chapter. The College is identified in the 2014 Edition of the Princeton Review as one of the Nations' best 378 Colleges and is also included in the prestigious 2014 Fiske Guide to Colleges and deemed a best buy. Saint Michael's College is rated as a top 100 liberal arts college by the U.S. News and World Report and ranked 89th in Catholic Colleges in the Northeast, and is now the fifth-best ranked among Catholic liberal arts colleges in the entire nation. Factors that helped the College move from its prior year rank include an excellent graduation rate, student faculty ratio and SAT scores along with other factors. Kiplinger's Personal Finance 2014 has ranked Saint Michael's College 68th on its list of the country's best values in private colleges. Forbes magazine America's Top Colleges' Edition has ranked Saint Michael's College 183rd for best private College. For the fourth straight year, Saint Michael's College was included in the The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges, recognized for their commitment to the environment. In 2012 Saint Michael's College was selected by the Carnegie Foundation as one of only 41 baccalaureate arts and science colleges nationwide in its community engagement classification, an area they define as the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a contest of partnership and reciprocity. The College is named one of the 34 exemplary institutes in the NSSE, National Survey Student Engagement by the Pew Charitable Trust and the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of Teaching. Every five years the Vermont Department of Education conducts a performance review of all the educator programs. Saint Michael's College underwent the process in October 2011 and received full approval for all licensure programs. We are particularly proud of the seven commendations from the review. No other teacher preparation program has ever received more than three. The academic program is supported by many professional and administrative staff including information technology (IT), academic enrichment programs, library and information services (LIS), registrar's office, the Vice President of Academic Affairs and the Dean. The IT department is committed to creating a robust technology environment for the College's students, faculty and staff. They support administrative applications, instructional technology services, all of which support the mission and goals of the College by providing its constituents with a reliable, secure, and fast campus network; support for the appropriate integration of technology into teaching and research; and technology support for administrative operations. Saint Michael's College is committed to students' academic success therefore, in addition to academic enrichment programs designed to enhance the learning experience, a variety of services are offered to ensure that our students get the most out of their education including independent studies, Peace and Justice Center, Women's Center, service learning, student/faculty research and internships to name a few. These services and activities are designed to assist our students in enhancing their learning opportunities in order to achieve their fullest intellectual development. Academic enrichment also supports faculty in offering extra-curricular activities that enhance their classroom teaching and in designing innovative components to their courses that foster experiential learning. LIS provides students, faculty, and staff with the information resources and services they need for study, teaching and research. The library strives to determine community needs and respond to them by shaping its resources and services to provide the best possible support for the academic program. In order to support our students attending Saint Michael's College, a variety of grants and assistance is awarded. Refer to schedule I, Part IV for additional information. Auxiliary Enterprises (line 4B) In 2003, The Board of Trustees affirmed in the College's Mission statement that being a member of the residential community is central to our students' experience at Saint Michael's College, by endorsing a 100% residency requirement. In addition to expenses associated with on-campus dining services, auxiliary services expenses include residence hall bond interest, depreciation expense and costs related to the bookstore, printing and mailing services, special events, summer playhouse and other auxiliary programs that support our students' living and learning experience at the College. As part of the residential experience, there are unique housing options available on campus based on common interests that students share such as GREAT (Growing Recognition of the Effects of Alcohol on Thinking) with 150 students, honor housing (51 units) and Ambassador housing (48 Units) which provides an opportunity for U.S. students to live with international students. Dining on campus provides the social experience essential to a well-rounded campus life. |
| STUDENT SERVICES (LINE 4C) | Students are at the center of the College's Mission. While the academic elements are foremost, supporting the students' personal development is vital as well. The offices of admissions, student life, Edmundite Campus Ministry, Wilderness Program, Athletics and many student clubs work to enhance students' personal growth as well as their academic success. To supplement the academic culture on campus and enrich overall quality of the college experience, a variety of weekend programs is offered to students, along with many outdoor programs such as the ski pass, cultural and artistic events through the Flynn center-Saint Michael's College cultural pass, a variety of ministry programs, and community service opportunities through MOVE (Mobilization of Volunteer Efforts). Approximately 80% of students are involved in some form of intercollegiate, intramural, club, recreation, personal fitness, or wilderness program offering. Approximately 21% of Saint Michael's College students participate in one of the 21 varsity sports. Our student athletes have achieved a 98% academic success rate (ASR); a statistic defined by the NCAA as a measurement of graduation within a 6 year cohort time period as of June 2013. Saint Michael's College has again been recognized as a recipient of the Division II Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence as a member of the Northeast-10 Conference. SMC achieved the highest Academic Success Rate (ASR) in the conference, and ranked among the top 5 in the nation. The office of student activities strives to provide students opportunities to develop as ethical leaders and engaged citizens, and offers a wide variety of programs and activities designed to meet their needs. Our Got Skills program (Socially just, Kindness toward others, Inclusive toward all people, Leading at every turn, Listening with care and, Self-respectful) focuses on promoting human dignity and diversity. Educational programs offered in the residence halls help to bring people together who might not have otherwise met, help people to better know each other, and expose individuals to new ideas and beliefs.

These represent a sample of the programming offered to students in the residence halls. The office of student activities assists the student government on campus as well as student clubs. Approximately 95% of the student population participates in student activities programs. The College embraces and supports students' commitment to community services reflected by the fact that 65% of our students participate in a service activity through our MOVE program - part of Edmundite Campus Ministry.
