Dickinson College commits resolutely to offer its students the privilege and opportunity of the tradition of liberal education. Chartered in 1783 by a most spirited signer of the Declaration of Independence, Dr. Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia, just days after the signing of the Treaty of Paris ended the American Revolution, and named for a signer of the United States Constitution, John Dickinson, Dickinson College represents a revolutionary, bold heritage in higher education. The College offers the world-now as then-a distinctively original form of American education and ambition. The academic calendar consists of fall and spring semesters and an optional summer term. In addition, the college supports a range of facilities in which students may use computers. The Waidner-Spahr Library, which includes the Information Commons, hosts over 100 computers equipped with the Microsoft Office suite and other applications, as well as laptop computers that may be borrowed by students.
