明德学院 基本信息

Middlebury is one of the country s top liberal arts colleges. It offers its students a broad curriculum embracing the arts, humanities, literature, foreign languages, social sciences, and natural sciences. Middlebury is an institution with a long-standing international focus, a place where education rlects a sense of looking outward, and a realization that the traditional insularity of the United States is something of the past. We seek to bring to Middlebury those who wish not only to learn about themselves and their own traditions, but also to see beyond the bounds of class, culture, region, or nation. Indeed, the central purpose of a Middlebury education is precisely to transcend oneself and one s own concerns. This transcendence may come for some through the study of other cultures; for some through the study of the environment; for others it will come through inquiry into such fields as physics or philosophy, mathematics or music.

Middlebury s undergraduate college is enriched by its other programs. Every summer, the main campus in Vermont is transformed into an institution single-mindedly devoted to the study of nine foreign languages and cultures, and the use of English is virtually banned for the participants, among whom are many Middlebury undergraduates. In the Green Mountains lies Middlebury s Bread Loaf campus, where for six weeks each summer the Bread Loaf School of English is in session. This is followed by the Bread Loaf Writers Conference, which brings together 200 authors and aspiring authors for 11 days of intensive exchange about the art of writing. The Bread Loaf School of English is in session each summer not only in Middlebury but also at Lincoln College, Oxford, in the United Kingdom; at St. John s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and at the University of North Carolina at Asheville

There is also an overseas dimension to Middlebury College. The C.V. Starr-Middlebury Schools Abroad are located in Alexandria, Belo Horizonte, Berlin, Bordeaux, Buenos Aires, Concepci n, C rdoba, Ferrara, Florence, Florian polis, Getafe, Guadalajara, Hangzhou, Irkutsk, La Serena, Logro?o, Madrid, Mainz, Montevideo, Moscow, Niter i, Paris, Poitiers, Santiago, Temuco, Tucum n, Valdivia, Valpara so, Xalapa, and Yaroslavl. These schools enroll more than 300 undergraduate and graduate students who seek to further their foreign language skills and immerse themselves as fully as possible in the host culture through academic study as well as direct experience.
