Liberal arts can take you there
A liberal arts education can take you virtually anywhere, and colleges like ours prepare students to excel in today’s complex and interconnected world. While each of our colleges has its own unique strengths and differentiators, as institutions steeped in the liberal arts tradition, there are certain qualities that we share. Here are six great reasons to think about eight of the best.
1.
A smaller, more intimate experience – With student bodies that range in size from 1,200 to 2,100 students, and a residential, undergraduate focus, our eight campus communities are compact, caring places where you’ll never feel like a number.
2.
Diversity and breadth – Our campuses are home to students from around the world, and our institutions celebrate diversity in all of its forms. Liberal arts colleges are places where different viewpoints, perspectives, and lived experiences are valued.
3.
Flexibility and exploration – Our students study across disciplines and are encouraged to explore different areas before declaring a major. A large percentage of students attending liberal arts colleges study abroad, and many of them complete multiple internships.
4.
Mentorship and support – Because our colleges are small, faculty truly get to know their students. There is a level of connection that goes beyond what is typical at larger universities, which means that we can truly support our students through every aspect of their journey.
5.
Commitment to affordability – All of our colleges are committed to working with families to make college more affordable and accessible. We offer a variety of scholarships, grants, work study, and other financing options.
6.
Preparing students to excel – Liberal arts encourages students to think critically, work across disciplines, and communicate effectively. These are skills that today’s employers demand. Year after year, our graduates excel in the job market and also go on to prestigious graduate schools.
