The Annapolis Group of Liberal Arts Colleges Inc (also known simply as the Annapolis Group) is an American 501(c)(3) organization of independent liberal arts colleges. It represents approximately 130 liberal arts colleges in the United States. These colleges work together to promote a greater understanding of the goals of a liberal arts education through their websites, as well as through independent research. Its current chair is Jonathan Green of Susquehanna University.
Background The Annapolis Group was first organized in early 1993 in Annapolis, Maryland. Its original members included and expanded upon the Oberlin Group which was first organized in 1984. The Annapolis Group was created by the presidents of Franklin & Marshall College, Gettysburg College, Beloit College and Dickinson College. The group is made up of private colleges and universities, many of which have current or historic ties to mainline Protestant denominations or to Catholic religious orders.
