Madurai American College Gate
Comment
The object of the college is to give the students a liberal Christian education, to train them in the service of God and people and to do such other things as are in harmony with that object. The continuing vision and vibrancy of the college flow naturally from the commitment to this original object. The holistic education that this vision implies enables the development of the body, mind and spirit of the student. The college maintains a desirably low faculty-student ratio. A major innovation underway is the choice-based credit system (CBCS). It is hoped that this will make education student-centered.
