Our college is known for offering a choice of nearly 60 major fields of study, complemented by a wide variety of minors and study options and for the caliber of its academic programs. Our own research, based on applicants' perceptions of our college before their enrollment, indicates clearly that the range of programs available and their reputation for excellence are the primary reasons students choose our college. Our major programs are divided among academic units grouped in the arts and sciences, business and economics and professional studies. We have an outstanding faculty and staff.
Most teaching faculty hold the doctoral degree.
A number are recognized nationally and internationally on the merits of their scholarship, the importance of their published works and the honors they have received. Many involve students in their own research. We promote active learning through internships, cooperative education placements and field studies that are available in virtually every field of study. While a few graduate students will direct some laboratory sections under faculty supervision, all courses are taught by faculty. Our professional support staff consists of about 100 highly qualified professionals available to work with you on academic and personal matters and on educational and career decisions.
