The college, through its curriculum and cocurricular activities , aims to develop the whole person. Professional training, although a part of the program, is kept subordinate to the primary aim of assisting the student to develop into a liberally educated person.
All students follow an academic program with a liberal arts core.
Professional courses and those required for teacher certification are taken as electives during the sophomore, junior, and senior years. Many of Immaculata's graduates go on to graduate or professional schools, where they may follow specialized professionally-oriented programs in fields such as medicine, law, music, economics, business administration, biology, dietetics, history, languages, mathematics, computer science, social services, and education. Immaculata College offers each student a solid foundation in the humanities and the social and natural sciences. The program of liberal studies is the unifying element in the education core and stands as the firm basis for the various fields of specialization. It is hoped that the student will develop a broad vision of life and a sharp awareness of the depth, meaning, and value of the objects of that vision.
