Academic Programs

Whether you're looking to start a career as an entrepreneur, artist, scientist or anything in between, we have a program that will help you explore your passion. Small classes mean you'll receive individual attention from your professors, and because we devote over $350,000 per year to undergraduate research, you'll be encouraged to make original contributions to your field.
