Students enjoy the personal attention found in small, focused classrooms where the average size is only 18. At present, Beaver College students come from sixteen states and fourteen other countries, and 70 percent of the full-time undergraduate population reside on campus. Campus life, including clubs, athletics, and cultural and social events, is rich and varied. Community service is a part of the Beaver College experience. Every Beaver College student is encouraged to take part in one or more community service activities.
Intramural sports offer many other athletic opportunities.
There are undergraduate majors available in 40 subject areas. Specific courses of study lead to a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Fine Arts, or a Bachelor of Science. Through its programs of study in Australia, Austria, England, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Spain, and Wales, CEA supports and implements the College's commitment to international education. Students have the opportunity to study overseas for a summer, semester, or full-year for about the same cost as remaining on the Glenside campus. Internships and student teaching experiences are also available overseas.
