Get more out of every class

With a 12-to-1 student-faculty ratio, our small class sizes mean more one-on-one attention. While the classroom is where you’ll learn, it’s also where you’ll make friends, collaborate and connect with inspiring professors.

    The robust knowledge base a liberal arts education provides allows me to be able to better present my research to the world. It gave me the skills to hold conversations with people unfamiliar with my research and maybe the topic in general.

    I’d tell the same thing to people just starting out: Find the major that speaks to you, and eventually it’ll work out at the end. It’s all about the skills you learn and the connections you make — the way you express yourself and your qualities, and how you’re willing to learn.
