Coordinates: 44°56′21.07″N 93°10′4.70″W / 44.9391861°N 93.1679722°W Macalester College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, US. It was founded in 1874 as a Presbyterian-affiliated but nonsectarian college. Its first class entered September 15, 1885. Macalester is an exclusively undergraduate four-year institution and enrolled 1,978 students in the fall of 2013 from 50 U.S. states and 90 countries.[2] The school is known for its large international enrollment and has one of the highest percentages of foreign students in the United States.[3] In 2015, U.S. News & World Report ranked Macalester as tied for the 24th best liberal arts college in the United States, 7th for undergraduate teaching at a national liberal arts college, and 15th for best value at a national liberal arts college.[4]

History

Macalester College was founded in 1874 by Rev. Dr. Edward Duffield Neill, who served as a chaplain in the Civil War and held positions in three U.S. presidential administrations. After journeying to the Minnesota Territory in 1849 to do missionary work, he founded two churches and served as the state’s first superintendent of public education and first chancellor of the University of Minnesota. He believed that only a private college could offer both the academic quality and the values needed to prepare for leadership. He planned a college that would be equal in academic strength to the best colleges in the East. It would be Presbyterian-affiliated but nonsectarian, making it inclusive by the standards of his day.

Charles Macalester, a prominent businessman and philanthropist from Philadelphia, made the establishing gift by donating the Winslow House, a noted summer hotel in Minneapolis. With additional funding from the Presbyterian Church and from the new College’s trustees, Macalester opened in 1885 with five professors, six freshmen, and 52 preparatory students.

In 1887, a classical scholar named James Wallace joined the faculty and quickly established himself as a fine and demanding teacher. He earned a national reputation for scholarship when he published two Greek textbooks that were widely used across the country. When he took on added duties as dean of the College and then as president, he dedicated himself to creating the strongest possible academic experience for Macalester students. He recruited excellent faculty members and carefully added new areas of study to the curriculum.

In spite of academic success, James Wallace’s early years at Macalester were financially difficult. Gradually, his efforts built up a group of donors whose support, together with tuition from a growing student body, put the college on steady footing. By the time he rejoined the faculty in 1906, Wallace had enabled the college to pay off its debt, maintain a balanced budget, and begin to establish an endowment to offer some protection against hard times.

In the 1940s and 1950s President Charles J. Turck gave new emphasis to the College’s internationalism by recruiting foreign students, creating overseas study opportunities, and hiring faculty from diverse backgrounds. As a symbol of commitment to international harmony, he raised the United Nations flag on campus in 1950, and it has flown every day since then, just below the United States flag. Under his leadership, Macalester also broadened its base of community service and intensified its continuing interest in civic and national affairs.

The College engaged in a remarkable period of advancement throughout the 1960s, made possible by DeWitt and Lila Wallace, founders of Reader’s Digest and major benefactors of Macalester. Under the leadership of President Harvey M. Rice, the College strengthened the academic credentials of its faculty, enhanced the academic program, and increased its visibility, attracting students from across the nation and around the world. A major building campaign resulted in a fine arts center and new science facilities which were among the best in the United States.

During this time, Macalester committed itself to a liberal arts curriculum and asserted five traditional and distinguishing values: involvement of students with faculty in the pursuit of learning; creation of a diverse campus community; incorporation of an international perspective in the curriculum and campus life; involvement of the College in the life of the metropolitan area; and espousal of service as a way of life.

The 1990s were another period of significant advancement for Macalester. In 1991, the College’s endowment became significantly stronger than it had been, enabling Macalester to pursue its high ideals with renewed vision and confidence. The College increased the number of faculty positions, adding new depth and more broadly diverse perspectives to the educational program. The improved student-faculty ratio also made possible more flexible and personalized teaching approaches, including significant enhancement of an already strong emphasis on faculty-student collaborative research and writing. The College also increased international study opportunities for students and faculty and strengthened co-curricular programs from athletics to residential life to community service.

Through a comprehensive campus improvement program, virtually every academic and residential building on campus was renovated, as were the athletic facilities. Extensive renovation of the science facilities, which merged two buildings into the Olin-Rice Science Center, was completed in 1997. George Draper Dayton residence hall opened in 1998, the Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center in 2001, and the renovated Kagin Commons student services building in 2002. A comprehensive fund-raising campaign completed in 2000 raised $55.3 million to help support some of those building projects as well as scholarship funds, student-faculty research stipends, academic programs, and annual operations.

Macalester’s Institute for Global Citizenship, created in 2005, serves as a catalyst for strengthening programs by which students connect academic study with off-campus applications through internships and service-learning opportunities both in the United States and abroad, and programs by which students explore ways to engage some of the world’s most challenging issues through their chosen professions.

In fall 2008 Macalester publicly launched a $150 million campaign, raising funds for scholarships, faculty support, program enhancement, operating support, and new facilities. As the campaign went public, alumni and friends had already contributed more than $100 million. A new athletic and wellness complex, the Leonard Center, opened in August 2008 housing programs aimed at creating a healthier and more cohesive campus community. In 2009, construction was completed on Markim Hall, a new home for the Institute for Global Citizenship. Plans called for the building to qualify for Platinum certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system, a building rating system devised by the U.S. Green Building Council that evaluates the sustainability and environmental impact of structures across the nation. In fall 2012, Macalester opened its renovated and expanded Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center.

Rankings

In 2015, U.S. News & World Report ranked Macalester as tied for the 24th best liberal arts college in the United States, and the same report ranked Macalester 7th for undergraduate teaching and 15th for best value at a national liberal arts college.[4]

In 2013, The Princeton Review ranked Macalester as one of the "Best Value Colleges"[5] and gave Macalester an academic ranking of 97 out of 99.[6]

In 2014, Forbes rated it 66th overall in "America's Top Colleges".[7]

In 2014, Washington Monthly ranked Macalester 7th best liberal arts college for contributing to the public good.[8] The ranking uses criteria of social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs), and service (encouraging students to give back to their country).

The Wall Street Journal ranked Macalester as the 38th best "feeder school" out of all national colleges and universities based on the number of students the school sends to the 15 most prestigious grad programs.[9]

Macalester was named one of the Hidden Ivies for providing an education that rivals that of the Ivy League based on academics, admissions process, financial aid, and student experience.[10]

In 2006, The New York Times included Macalester in its profile of 20 colleges and universities "established or rising scholarship" which are fast becoming viable alternatives to Ivy League institutions.[11]

Unigo.com ranked Macalester as one of the top 10 "New Ivies"[12] and one of the "Top 10 Colleges Where the Pursuit of Knowledge Goes Beyond the Classroom".[13]

In the past 10 years, Macalester students have earned honors including Rhodes Scholarships, British Marshall Scholarships, Fulbright Scholarships, Foreign Government Grants, National Science Foundation Fellowships, Truman Scholarships, Watson Fellowships, Mellon Fellowships and Goldwater Scholarships.[14]

Admission

For the class of 2018, Macalester received 6,463 applications and accepted 2,133, an acceptance rate of 33%.[15] Macalester is considered "Most Selective" by the U.S. News & World Report Rankings.[16] Of those admitted, the median SAT scores are 710 for critical reading, 690 for math, and 700 for writing;[17] the median ACT score is 31.[17] 74% of admitted students were in the top 10% of their high school class.[17]

Academic program

Macalester's stated mission is to be a preeminent liberal arts college with high standards for scholarship with an emphasis on internationalism, multiculturalism, and service to society.[19] Macalester offers over 800 courses from 31 academic departments which offer 37 majors and 63 areas of study.[2] Students are also able to design their own interdisciplinary major.[20] Courses are available in the physical sciences, humanities, mathematics and computer sciences, arts, social sciences, foreign languages, classics, several interdisciplinary fields, and pre-professional programs.[21] Pre-professional programs includes pre-law, pre-medical, a cooperative architecture program, and a cooperative engineering program.[22] The most popular majors are economics, political science, psychology, mathematics, and biology.[2]

Under an agreement with Washington University’s School of Architecture in St. Louis, students may complete three years at Macalester before transferring to Washington University for a senior year of accelerated architectural study, leading to a B.A. from Macalester.[22] Three years of graduate study at Washington University then leads to a Master’s in architecture.[22]

An arrangement between Macalester and both the University of Minnesota and Washington University in St. Louis makes it possible for a student to earn a B.A. degree from Macalester and a B.S. degree in engineering or applied science from either university in five years.[22]

The academic calendar at Macalester is divided into a 14 week fall semester (September to December) and a 14 week spring semester (January to May).[20] All courses are offered for semester credit. Most courses are offered for four semester credits, but the amount of credit may vary.[20]

During January, Macalester students may earn up to two semester credits in independent projects, internships, or Macalester-sponsored off-campus courses.[20] Additionally, Macalester students may earn up to eight semester credits in independent study during the summer through independent projects or internships.[20]

Study abroad and off-campus

Macalester College has a long tradition of providing significant opportunities for students to build an international and intercultural perspective into their college education through international or domestic off-campus study. Students may propose participation from among an ample array of overseas and domestic programs relevant to Macalester’s liberal arts curriculum.

About 60% of Macalester students study abroad before graduation.[23] Eleven departments require off-campus study for completion of a major.[24]

Macalester has programs in the Netherlands, South Africa, Germany, Austria (e.g. at the University of Vienna), Singapore, and France. The majority of students study abroad through independent programs often recommended through advising at Macalester's International Center.

Academic consortia

Neill Hall[25]

Macalester is a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), a consortium of five liberal arts colleges in Saint Paul and Minneapolis formed to develop cooperative programs and offer cross-registration to their students. Other members include University of St. Thomas, Augsburg College, Hamline University, and St. Catherine University. In addition to over 800 courses available on campus, Macalester students have access to all courses offered through the consortium without paying additional tuition. ACTC provides free busing between the campuses to all students.[26]

Macalester also has an agreement with the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) whereby students may take one course per term at that college, provided that Macalester has approved the course.[27]

As a member of the Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC), the Macalester library provides students with academic resources outside of the College's library. Through the consortium, students have access to books, articles, and other media available from liberal arts colleges in the Twin Cities. Students also have access to the University of Minnesota libraries, and can obtain copies of papers and articles there from on campus.

Tuition and financial aid

Macalester's comprehensive tuition, room, and board fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $57,691.[28] Despite the high cost of attendance, Macalester is 1 of only 70 colleges nationally that meets the full financial aid of admitted students.[29]

In the fall of 2013, 74% of admitted first-year students received financial aid, with an average financial aid package of $37,501.[30]

Student life

Student body

Macalester is well known for its large international enrollment.

Civic engagement

Civic engagement is a core component of the Macalester education and is included in its mission statement.[32] The college actively encourages student dialogue by bringing in speakers, hosting an International Roundtable to bring distinguished international scholars to discuss emerging global issues, and hosting collective meetings such as Women of Color.[33]

Macalester is a long-time leader in linking academic learning to community involvement. In 2011-2012, 16 departments offered 59 courses with civic engagement components.[34] Each year approximately 200 students complete internships, 65% of which are in the non-profit sector, schools, government, or the arts.[33] Macalester also allows students to earn their work-study financial aid award while working at a local non-profit or elementary school.[33]

50% of Macalester students volunteer every semester.[2] 94% are active volunteers in the Twin Cities urban community while at Macalester.[2] Many student organizations encourage active civic engagement, including MPIRG, Maction, Queer Union (QU), Macalester Habitat for Humanity, and more.[33]

Macalester is the primary financial contributor and sponsor of the Minnesota Institute for Talented Youth, which was founded in 1967 and has its main facilities in the Lampert Building. MITY provides two different gifted education programs during the summer months and one on weekends during the academic year.[35] Macalester also participates in Project Pericles, a commitment to further encourage civic engagement at the college.[33] In 2000, Macalester signed the Talloires Declaration, making a commitment to environmental sustainability, as well as a sweatshop pledge, making a commitment to fair-labor practices in the purchase of college apparel.[33]

LGBTQ community

Macalester is widely recognized as one of the most LGBTQ-friendly colleges in the nation. The Campus Pride Index awarded Macalester a full five out of five stars for LGBTQ-friendly campuses.[36] In 2007, The Princeton Review named Macalester the most gay-friendly college in the nation.[37]

Every semester Macalester holds the Lavender Reception to celebrate the queer community on campus and provide an opportunity for LGBTQ students to learn about resources and support networks on and off campus.[38] Every year ends with the Lavender Graduation, a celebration that recognizes of the contributions and accomplishments of Macalester's LGBTQ graduating seniors.[38]

For people whose gender expression is not always recognized, Macalester has started an initiative to ensure access to single-stall and all-gender bathrooms across campus.[39] Macalester also offers all-gender housing on campus.

Macalester has a student-powered Gender and Sexuality Resource Center that aims to build a culture of resistance against all forms of oppression.[40] There are also many active LGBTQ student organizations and groups on campus including Queer Union, Allies Project Training, and the Macalester Out and Proud Community.[40]

Awards and recognition

Athletics

The athletic teams of Macalester College are nicknamed the Scots. Macalester is a member of the NCAA Division III Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) in all sports except football. The Scots' football team set an NCAA Division III record by losing 50 straight games from 1974 to 1980. The Scots left the MIAC after the 2001 season and competed as an independent until 2014, when they joined the Midwest Conference. Under head coach Tony Jennison, Macalester won the Midwest Conference title, the Scots' first conference football title since 1947.[46] Macalester also won nine games in 2014, the most ever in a Scots' single season in their 121 years of intercollegiate football.[47] Previously, the college actually dissolved the football program in 1906, pronouncing, according to the Mac Weekly: "Thoroughly aroused to the evils, real or imaginary, of this game, the public is clamoring for the entire abolition or reform on this 'relic of barbarism.'"

The Leonard Center athletic and wellness complex

Soccer has always been a popular sport. Both men and women's teams remain competitive, appearing in multiple NCAA playoffs since 1995. The women's team won the NCAA championship in 1998.[48] The 2010 men's team won the MIAC regular-season championship and both the men and women's teams received at-large bids for the 2010 NCAA Division III tournament. Both teams are well-supported by students, parents and alumni. One of Macalester sports fans' most (in)famous cheers – "Drink Blood, Smoke Crack, Worship Satan, Go Mac!" – was cited as one of "7 Memorable Sports Chants" by Mental Floss.[49]

The Cross Country Ski team became a club team in 2004, when skiing was eliminated as an MIAC sanctioned sport. It was the first team to be dismantled since hockey was cut (and turned club) in the 1970s. A women's hockey team formed in 2000 and continues to play at the club level.

Macalester Athletics compete in a new athletic facility, the Leonard Center, which opened in August 2008. The $45 million facility encompasses 175,000 square feet. The Leonard Center includes a 200-meter track, a natatorium, a fitness center, several multipurpose rooms, and a health and wellness center for the college community. Materials from the former facility were disposed of in environmentally friendly ways, and some materials were incorporated into the new structure.[50]

Housing

As at many small liberal arts colleges, students at Macalester are required to live on campus for their first two years.

Residence halls

Bigelow Hall houses sophomores

Specialty housing

All-gender housing

Recently, Macalester has made news by offering limited all-gender housing options for first-years, juniors, and seniors. George Draper Dayton Hall, the Grand-Cambridge Apartments, Kirk Hall, and the six cottages all offer all-gender housing options. As of the 2012-2013 academic year, one floor of the first-year residence hall Doty is designated as all-gender for first-year students. However, these housing options still do not provide the opportunity for students of different sexes to share a room. Student-led groups are working to increase all-gender options and make all-gender bathrooms more widely available across campus.

Food services

Food services on campus are provided by Bon Appétit, a national company. The cafeteria, located in the Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center, is called Café Mac. Three different meal plans are available for students who live on campus (excepting those in specialty housing or co-ops). The standard option (and the only option for first-year students) is 19 all-you-can-eat meals per week (3 per weekday and 2 on each day of the weekends). For the same price, 10- or 14-meal plans are available, which offer additional flexible "dining dollars" for à la carte meals. Café Mac includes several different stations, all of which provide vegan and gluten-free options. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and food containing nuts or peanuts are flagged so that all students can manage their dietary concerns. Students who live off-campus may opt for a plan that includes 75 meals per semester.

Sustainability

In the 2011 College Sustainability Report Card published by the Sustainable Endowments Institute, Macalester received an overall grade of "A−", earning it the recognition as an "Overall Campus Sustainability Leader".[51] In 2011, The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) awarded Macalester College a Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) Silver Rating in recognition of its sustainability achievements.[52]

There are many student organizations on campus that focus on sustainability, including Macalester Conservation and Renewable Energy Society (MacCARES), Minnesota Public Interest Research Group (MPIRG), Mac Bike, Macalester Urban Land and Community Health (MULCH), and Outing Club.[53]

In April 2003, Macalester was able to install a 10 kW Urban Wind Turbine on-campus thanks to that year's senior class gift donating the installation cost and Xcel Energy donating the tower and turbine.[54] The student organization MacCARES is currently developing a proposal for Macalester to invest in a Utility-Scale Wind Turbine in the range of 2MW.[54] Other projects include the Eco-House, a student residence with a range of green features and research opportunities; a rain garden which prevents storm water from running-off into ground water, a bike share program, and a veggie co-op.[55] Recently, the Class of 2008 designated its senior class gift to a Sustainability Fund to support initiatives to improve environmental sustainability on campus and in the greater community.[55] On January 1, 2013, Macalester started on campus composting.[56]

Macalester declared a goal in September 2009 to become carbon neutral by 2025 and Zero-Waste by 2020.[57] The school is a signatory to the Talloires Declaration and the American College and University President's Climate Commitment, the latter obligating the college to work toward carbon neutrality.[58] On April 18, 2012, President Brian Rosenberg signed the “Commitment to Sustainable Practices of Higher Education Institutions on the Occasion of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development”.[59]

In 2009, the school opened Markim Hall, a LEED Platinum building that houses the school's Institute for Global Citizenship.[60] The building uses 45% less water and 75% less energy than a typical building in Minnesota. Macalester is currently planning on remodeling its Music, Theater, and Art buildings and is designing them to Minnesota B3 Guidelines.
