UNPARALLELED FACULTY AND PEER SUPPORT Our professors are not only nationally recognized leaders in their chosen fields, they’re mentors who support you in and out of the classroom. Small class sizes allow for close collaboration, both with professors and fellow classmates. Faculty may even accompany you on study abroad trips, copublish research, and help you patent new products. In addition to faculty support, you’ll have a dedicated Peer Advisor. Your Peer Advisor is available to answer questions, assist with the college transition, and help set you up for success.
INTEGRATED LEARNING If you’re undecided about what to study—as many of our first year students are—we offer an interdisciplinary approach that allows you to plan a course of study consistent with your varied goals and interests. With nearly 50 majors and 40 minors to choose from, you’ll have opportunities to explore your many passions and discover the path that’s best for you.

RIGOROUS ACADEMICS AND PROFESSIONAL FACILITIES
he support is something T I can’t stress enough. I didn’t know what to expect and was nervous to start my first year, but once I arrived, I quickly realized that everybody cared about my success. Everyone—from my professors and my Faculty Advisor to my Peer Advisor and Resident Advisor—has been there for me every step of the way.
