What sets us apart? Good question! We’ve got a few answers.

Research Opportunities: You don’t have to wait until your junior year – we have research opportunities starting three weeks before your first year. 

Farm + Garden: Students study sustainability by getting hands-in-the-dirt experiences on campus, where your Educational Studies professor also doubles as a beekeeper. 

DIII Dominates: Student-athletes? Nah, we call our Fighting Scots scholar-athletes because that’s what they are – the perfect balance between academics and athletics.

Global Health Minor: We prepare our students to work for lives committed to asking and solving the world’s biggest problems by focusing on improving physical and mental health around the world.

Water quality monitoring and aquatic ecology studies are also possible in the stream.
