For almost 60 years, our award-winning faculty has championed our students in their intellectual pursuits by taking them beyond the textbook for truly experiential learning. With 150+ academic offerings at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, you’re sure to find something that fits your interests and abilities.
