WHY WILLAMETTE?

We are focused on providing an educational experience that can only be found here. A Willamette education offers flexibility for students who aspire to do it all and for those whose goals are more specific.

As a liberal arts university, we provide space for students to pursue their varied interests, knowing that modern careers often rely on diverse skills and outside-the-box thinking.

WHAT IS A LIBERAL ARTS UNIVERSITY?

A liberal arts university promotes a multifaceted education where students develop the skills and knowledge to become leaders in work and life. The curriculum isn’t rigidly and narrowly focused. Here, students are encouraged to explore the intersections between disciplines and become critical thinkers. This often manifests as taking classes in departments outside one’s major, getting involved with student-run organizations and clubs, or pursuing passion projects through research.

“The safe campus setting with expansive extracurricular and academic opportunities has made Willamette a great choice for our son.” —Todd Olson ’86
