CHRIST COLLEGE − THE HONORS COLLEGE
Christ College – The Honors College has helped transform students into scholars, leaders, and world-changers through cultivating curiosity, inspiring compassion, and encouraging collaboration. Unique to Christ College is the cohort-based, interdisciplinary, and dialogue-focused structure allowing scholars to collaborate with and be challenged by their professors and peers at every turn.
ACCESS COLLEGE FOR SUCCESS
A college education is in reach through the Access College for Success. Providing fully capable but slightly disadvantaged students the additional support needed to be successful, this two-year program begins with pre-college prep and puts you on track to receive your associate of university studies degree, followed by a bachelor's degree if so desired.
EXPLORATORY
Our exploratory studies program will give you a broad introduction to three colleges at Valpo (business, engineering, and arts and sciences) so you can test the waters and find your path. On that path, you’ll study the challenging topics, ask the difficult questions, and still graduate on time!
Most majors offered at Valpo can also be selected as a minor. A complete listing of majors, minors, and interdisciplinary programs is available at valpo.edu/academics.
Chart your own course. Explore the world. Get involved and invested in your community. At Valpo, you’ll get things you can’t get at other universities – things like access to professors who are experts in their fields, experiential learning opportunities as early as your freshman year, and a well-rounded education grounded in truth-seeking tradition. You’ll have the freedom to pursue what matters most to you and opportunities to learn and laugh in and out of the classroom. Along the way you’ll be joined by students just as driven and adventurous as you are. In our close-knit community, you won’t have to look far to find the real world. It’s here in every experience designed to help you become a globally savvy leader. Interested in learning more?
