Core Curriculum

Hey mom! First day of class vibes.
On a small campus you’ll always know someone! Perfect for walking to class, to the cafe or to practice. You’ll always have a buddy.
With an average class size under 20 students, it's hard to blend in. So don't be surprised to get an email from your prof if you skip class!

We believe that the world needs ethical leaders who possess strong critical thinking skills and the ability to bring together ideas and people from multiple disciplines and perspectives.

In addition to courses required for their major, our Core Curriculum requirements provide depth, breadth and integration of knowledge for students in an environment that builds character, promotes citizenship, and prepares them for successful careers.
